I'm certain you're not alone in your dilemma, you're just smart enough to admit it. I'm aware of my "useful years" of working on cars and it's closing in on me too. I think you'll have to try selling it as a package first with a deadline set when you'd start breaking it up and selling parts...

Welcome! I just put in a clutch master last week. E12 5-series is what you'll need. I got mine on ebay from Slovania. Had some issues but they may have been a user problem. ;) Dan

Isn't this the case regardless of new or reusing? They came off pretty easy. We'll see...

Dave is 20 minutes away from me so if anyone is interested in an E3 you have two to choose from. ;) Dan Roseville, CA

Current bid is $0. $5500 is the buy-it-now price but this is a clean title car so the seller can ask whatever they want. They can also bid it up so you have know how much you want to bid beforehand.

I'm just cleaning mine up.

Yes, I got the paint code from this forum. Just giving another data point.

Ha. It's just one of those things that you have to do since you already got the paint for it and it's staring you in the face.

Some things I wanted to finish on the E3 before selling. Painting the air cleaner housing and thought I'd share. I used Northstar single stage RAL 7043. Looks pretty darn close to original.

Installed and working good, although the bleeding didn't go as expected. I haven't had issues with clutch masters in the past since they're so simple, but this one fought me a bit. Nice to get the car out on the road. Dan

Not the same, unless they changed the center caps

@Mike Goble saw this in the central valley. Exactly like mine so I had to make sure mine was still in my garage.

Eh. Just start digging.

I don't see a photo, but based on your description I wouldn't pull the car towards the pile of debris. I'm with Rick on this one.

How about an RV AC system mounted on the roof. Simple and you'd be the only one!

I just bought a '79 Mercedes 280GE, converted to a 3.0L diesel years ago, and it has a salvage title. It's worth less because of it and I look at it differently as far as how I restore it. I've decided originality doesn't matter (engine swapped already anyway) and I'll change the color when I...

Just went to Auto Zone here in CA and synthetic is all they had. I'm sure that's what I've used before. I "honed" the cylinder with fine 3M scratch pad with lacquer thinner then brake fluid to clean off anything that might have built up. I don't know how old this "new" cylinder is. Put...

Got any ideas? I've never had hydraulics do this in all the years I've been acting like a mechanic.

Could be. Maybe I used non synthetic in the past and didn't pay attention. I'll try that since I have no other ideas.

Installed a new Ate E12 clutch master cylinder and the rear seal stuck compressed while bleeding the system. I took it apart and had to use compressed air to get it out. The seal looked bigger than the front seal. I took the rear seal out of the old cylinder and put it in the new one and it...
