RP, nice look. Definitely modernizes the coupe a bit. I re-veneered the wood myself. The vacuum sealer is a must. The two tricky parts are the careful removal of the old veneer (I had to use some epoxy wood filler because of the inevitable gouges) and the repair of the delaminating curved...

This is a slight aside from your original post. What works really well in the coupe is to mount the chrome gauges from the back side. This way the chrome ring you see is very similar in size to the amount of chrome you see on the main cluster. The VDO gauges come with a stepped chrome bezel...

Running MS3. At idle I have ~47 kPa, 950 rpm and spark timing ranging from 8-12°, AFR 13/13.1. Check vacuum hoses at the idle valve. Are all the connections hose clamped? Which version of MS are you running, 2 or 3? What is the engine configuration displacement, injector size and...

I have done it a couple of times with all the accessories, belts, fan, exhaust manifolds & downpipes already mounted. I would put the radiator in after the engine is in place.

The other issue is the condition of the interior bore.

Nicely done finish work. Great exterior color.

Chris, Those dash ends look fairly typical and mostly intact.. I would try and work some wood glue between the layers with a thin blade and carefully prying pieces apart. It is hard to tell from the photos but you might need add some patch layers to the inside of the curve (veneer side)...

I also think it must be a temperature sensor. It might be specifically for the late model emissions stuff that is nearby. It seems a bit crude if it is just measuring the ambient air near the engine as apposed to the engine or exhaust directly. But weren't these emission systems rather...

Great story and welcome to the forum. Looks like a very nice example.

Nicely done.

Very nice, and beautiful color combo.

Hagerty. Increased to $175k. They asked no questions about modifications. $1,500 premium

Congratulations Chris! You are fortunate to already have a new project to aid/distract letting your beautiful Malaga go.

Also, consider that the Tii brake booster requires a firmer push on the brake pedal.

These look really nice. I would be interested in one. UK delivery works if no US delivery option.

I might be interested in the hood grille(s) and the aluminum door jambs on the B pillar. Is there a set of new ones in that pile?

Stan - maybe aluminum bits from the head work when the engine was rebuilt (if the head was not well cleaned after milling). First oil change since new engine?

Nice work. Please put me down on the list for one new configuration hose. Thank you.

I have a used center section and rear muffler available. They look to be fairly new - ie., in good shape.

Don - I'll take two of those. ;)
