    I've got Wood (veneer) let me see yours

    Who me? Someday we'll get to see them in your car. LOL What you may not notice here and on mine is that this veneer was one piece so the figure and grain match from left rear window across the dash to the right rear window. It's the way to do this correctly if you're a wood worker.

    Roundel Restoration

    I did a couple myself. It's tricky but with some patience it can be done. I did the back one because there were NLA and a friend gave me one that needed refinishing. I must admit no one even notices. Ed Z write up is a good start. Good luck. Gary

    FS- Pair of B post cover plates. Aluminum

    These are used but could easily be refinished. Easily polished if you remove the anodizing. I can tell you how. They have some small dents but the aluminum is soft and a rubber hammer and some blocks of wood could get these pretty smooth. Or you can find a pro to do it. The are currently...

    Dashboard?

    I had my dash covered a few years ago. I did not do it myself although I considered it. I did not have the sewing machine. I think someone with some good skills, heat gun and good prep as mentioned by Scott and others it would certainly be a DIY project. I have an extra dash that is cracked...

    Korman Triple Carb Conversion

    From a guy I know that has triple side draft Webers, you might look into a fuel injection setup. Much better start and drive, easier to tune, more reliable etc. Just saying.... I love my Webers but the learning curve is high and with out some modes as mentioned by others you won't get any...

    FS- Speaker grill for E9 5/23 SOLD

    I have a speaker grill for E9. Wood is in good shape. 8 of 10. Grill cloth has holes though. Many just remove it. I don't know where to get cloth but remember someone of the forum had a source for something similar. Steve used panty hose. The color my friend used was Hanes "Barely There"...

    Removing the hood

    The key is to not remove the bolts. The mounts are slotted so they just slide up when the bolts are loose.

    Removing the hood

    IIRC you can prop the hood up, then loosen the bolts. Then 2 people can easily lift it up and out to the front. So you only need 2 people. Good luck! Gary

    Why is the CSi timing so much different than CS?

    @Stevehose I had to give up on my 123 because of oil leaks. Another story covered here. Been running a stock distributor for a while now. I've noticed much easier revving to over 6500. I just crank in all the advance I can without getting detonation. Many of the M30 engine gurus that race...

    How to fit new tension strut bushes

    It's been more than 4 years ago when I dealt with this. At the time only W&N bushings were available. After powder coating all my suspension parts I had a local machine shop install all the front and rear bushings. No problems since.
