Thanks Mike. Here are a couple of my favorite pictures/memories, it doesn't look like this at C&C events anymore! These are when I first saw and...
Mike (@miketuason) yes, the pic and video is my 1980 308 GTB... Euro Carb Dry Sump with factory optional (for Germany) quad/sport exhaust, deep...
Consider replacing the Water Pump and doing a valve clearance check/adjustment
Just for the record on this 308 wheel thread, staggered 16" wheels were optional for Euro cars beginning ~1979 (i.e. just prior to TRX), I think...
Andy- Thanks for pointing this this one out (I typically look at the last day BaT auction notices). I concur, it definitely has "some rather...
@notredSteve: It's not a .pdf, but here's a source for a lovely old-school hardcopy on eBay (no affiliation)
@stonker, I see what you mean, it looks like a little between VM 3218 and VM 846. Given that our cars are 40+ years old, could have been retrimmed...
In my book: What Peter @pshoejberb did is the right way to do the de-diaper conversion, beautiful craftsmanship! I recall when Newman did a...

@miketuason Now that a couple of peeps resurrected your thread... what did you end up doing about the tires?
@BLACK HORSE I had my Boxer's rear black aluminum grate (between the taillights) refinished years ago, it had faded from the exhaust heat and sun....
It's an interesting location to have a janky re-weld, possible accident, maybe someone jacked up the center of the rear crossbar and cracked the...
@Jonny Law Thank you very much... exactly what I was looking for: A source selling single, dual and 6 place connectors... period correct for my...
