Funny you should ask. I have what I believe is a rear windshield seal for those Coupes but want to check with someone to verify. I had been getting calls from the other coast from another '73 Coupe owner/restorer who desired the same , but he hasn't returned my call since I phoned a couple of weeks ago. So maybe he found one. Also have two other guys her in the State who might need it but haven't really heard about any need from them either. Can you please get some measurement (in inches please) and post back? Top to bottom ,side to side .... go for the overall -outer edge to outer edge please. We've already concluded that it does not work for the sedans of that era so it really must be a Coupe .... I hope. Thanks and good luck.

its the feel good thread of 2010/2011 !! sofukkinbtchin !

reason # 1 to avoid it is post #5 Benefit to keeping track of ME ??? Good luck with that....

sun of a btch! Neo I was just wondering about you. Glad to see you're around. Put us down for a maybe. Luc and I caught a btchin little lizard this year a few months ago. It's sooooo cool ! That was the highlight of the Barrens runs we did. Logged over 150 miles on the trails with the FWD '92 Lego. Outrageous amount of frogs ,for those concerned about warning from scientists/newsreports. Just cannot seem to find another PB treefrog though. Need more straight people .... I'm in a ball bustin mood ,gotta sleep , talk to you sweethearts soon.

Car - 1978 4WD wagon - my baby. Anyone else tend to go through these little suckers kind of quick? Maybe I'm exagerating but I do recall changing one out at Carlisle waaaaaaaaay back when Skip showed up. might have been the GoKart year. Sounds like a long time ago but keep in mind this car doesn't do much mileage per year. And I also recall one or two eaten up since then. And of course last night when I took it to work pretending to be cool. Its almost always the metal end becoming seprated from the glass tube but you don't see it untill you take it out and pull the ends. Got me the first time - took Skip looking it over and going through the whole book procedure before he spotted the culprit. I did go over what grounds to the body I could find without going under the dash. Isn't there another ground to metal under the dash up on the left?

If its getting a little juicy around the rubber boot does that mean its time to swap it out right now? Or do you think I have a little time to play , like wait untill springtime? The car runs well enough , and its for sale , but I'm sure its not going to sell and I'll probably end up using it a little this winter. Seems to drink a little more gas than usual lately. I have a rebuild kit and also have a seperate acc. pump if you think just swaping that out is ok. I think Todd said he's done that -just the Acc. pump. Know it alls - this is your moment! just bustin stones ...

I'll check back later or tomorrow but no time right now. I should be able to help you out if somebody else doesn't step up. I do have a carb I was going to rebuild last winter/this winter and also can offer a carb rebuild kit. And I have a full engine gasket/seal set too. You can find those on eBay fairly often and for what I'm going to ask anyways. Carbs also show up ,one was just on recently. Gotta fly ,check back soon. Paul

Man I hope I get to see that So.Park episode. I'm with you ,Eric. Signed up because my neice was in Italy and that's how she was keeping in touch and posting pics ,etc. Otherwise ,bag that scene ,man! FaceSchnook ,phooey! And all the stinkin requests from people I don't really know ... no offense to a few of you here. I'll probably ask to be removed soon. Cheers! ....wanna be my friend?

Gotta push ! :-\ Weather won't last long. Need to get it all pared down real trim , real fast.

Box mover this week according to weather .... ???? Hours will be from 7AM to around 2PM with some kind of lunch break. Come for a few or what you can do ..... Have to start wrapping up around 12:30PM the latest so if you plan to browse/pick then ya gotta get there before noon for sure. Exit 35 off I-95 either direction , Milford CT Rowe Ave. U-Store-It ...and boy do I store it Super easy to get to and from. Plundering times won't be around forever. Still some 80's stuff there ,a little anyways , bumpers ,etc. lots and lots of 70's stuff and EA71 items ,trannies , etc....

lo ca tion ?

I'll surely get on it soon.

Let me know about any NOS you forsee needing. I've got a few sets of lenses ,lights ,etc. that are coming out of storage boxes lately. There's that guy with the wagon in CA -now sold -and the new onwer has contacted me about a few items. I just want to make sure I don't let something go that you might need.

way to move forward ! Any contact with "drivesubies" over this? He's in the process of doing the same car. ...and how's your rear windshield gasket? I may have a good used one here that showed up. I do have a guy who's been asking me about this for several months now. He's in ID restoring the same car.

Tease of teases !! Peek is the optimal word. Very cool !!!

Gotta post some pics of your builds! Never worked on any but my own. When that Superlight came out that YELLOW oh so sweet. Wanted one bad back then. Yeah, I thought by now I'd have seen a Subaru powered GL or build bike. I guess there's probably one or two out there but I have yet to see one. Just talked to a 'Wing guy tonight at my storage unit. His is an '06 which I guess is an 1800. Now they look like scooters on steroids. Good luck with the 1100.

Storage unit on Rowe Ave. in Milford CT just off exit 35 of I-95 , super easy to get to and leave from. (U-Store-It) Today , tomorrow , and Tuesday. Send PM or email moosens - yahoo ... include a number and time best to call. I'll send mine if you don't already have it. Building racks of wood , good to have a 2nd guy around - hold the other end of this ,etc ... cutters welcome but I am completly able and have all tools. Guy to run for supplies with truck would be the BEST but any help , even running for lunch ,etc. would be helpful. Time to scramble !!

Hey Budd , Ducati tech ,eh ? WELCOME !!!!! I speak desmo. You familiar with the old stuff? I've got a couple of singles from '66 , low end models Monza and Sebring. Had a new blue Paso 750 and hope to have another "new" Duc within the next couple of years after I get a garage. Next year ..Rossi on the Duke!!!!!!! Nicky finally getting some better results but ... He qualifies 2nd for this weeks race. Hope he can keep it up front. Hope we get to meet sometime. Cheers! Paul

:lol: you guys ain't got nuttin on the Professor. 1.5 million -that's right. Every time these threads pop up I (now) wait a little then swing the hammer. Yes, I've met the guy several times and I'm pretty sure one day he's going to call me out of the blue and ask me to take it. He's taught in such places as U of Mich. , Fla. , and more always commuting on the weekends. He'd get home and go right under the car and yank the oil drain plug. Last time I was at his house he wanted a few hundred for it and to me it wasn't worth my time since I've kind of given up on the 80's cars. Ciao!

also an engineering foray for the next generation. Mark ,sounds good and thanks.

Mark, please save it. If you don't have room let me know and maybe I'll go nuts and cover shipping. "ctsuba" has one left , I think. He told me that he once read that a scientist of some sort once declared that the 1300 horiz. opp. engine was the best for maximizing fuel efficiency. It's the EA63 before it was punched out to make it 1400 so opinon is that the material the took out made the walls too thin etc. which resulted in the 1400 EA63 becoming notorious for the cylinders slopping around and tearing up headgaskets and head surfaces.

Bump for any more opinions. I did get a couple of wheels "done" although its damn addictive once you see the potential of just how good you COULD make them. So I've got flat black in the recesses for now. I'll get some pics when I can. I currently don't have any photochop deal on my computer. Would be cool to see what a white or red does in certain configs. Any opinions on if these were painted entirely black? Maybe reverse negative sort of thing with black overall and aluminumn recesses? Gotta dig out my photosuite. Meanwhile if someone has time it'd be much appreciated if you could tryout some ideas.

yeah , my city ... and NO I didn't make that one either. Also found out about it too late. We did have a nice classic car show in downtown B'port and I think the Japanese one was maybe the same day , elsewhere ... I think at Captains Cove Seaport , at least I do remember attending an "old rice" show there a couple years ago. We were ready to go to a Japanese motorcycle show in Mass. a couple weeks ago too , but we backed out at the last minute. I'm sorry I ever got rid of my Bridgestone 175 DT. Would love to have a small collection of vintage Hondas and Yamahas ... and a Bridgestone or two. Mike , thanks for keeping us posted - well ,not so much this time , but please keep 'em coming. I swear if we get a truely cold winter I really want to get to the Ice Races ... which freaks out my wife something terrible.
