    Update for the moment.... manifold is stripped down. Still trying to plan my path for treatment and paint. Everything came apart relatively easy.

    Coolant sensors are also in the car now. Old ones likely have been in there for quite some time.

    I thought I previously read that there should be some thread sealant on these, but not too much as to interfere with the connection. Old ones didn't leak and came off without any signs of old sealant. I used just a little thread tape on each and it currently is dry around them, but is this correct procedure or should I go in naked thread?

    More to come later

    As I go thru my top end refresh, I have found this to be very solid advice again and again. Even with a good plan, I keep finding 'something else' or have to adapt or undo some previous repair, or decide to order another part and extend the time frame. And now finding out some of the diagrams aren't the most accurate (huge shocker, right) and getting the correct part re-ordered. Its a labor of love for sure! Can't wait to fire it back up, hopefully soon.

    As i have struggled with the hot starts, I happened to notice both, but especially my right side cam sensor was pretty much destroyed at the plug. So those got ordered. I'm actually hopefull this may be my solution.

    nice job and interesting. My car is devoid of the charcoal system; I was debating putting it back in but not sure it would make a huge difference or not. That being said I know absolutely nothing about charcoal systems! Anyway nice job on the refresh!

    I detail more about the cannister and purge valves in this thread.... and I may be off on my full understanding of the system

    Still finishing up my winter overhaul, some delays... some unplanned, some user induced, but I'm on the home stretch to get driving again... but also in the middle of spring break travel with the family so not much getting done the rest of the month.

    Came back from one trip last night to find my new to me 1/18 model arrived. It makes me smile! A very nice Mini-me

    Its a Burango brand model. All over Ebay... just wanted it in green, and preferred an unboxed one, so I dont feel bad for opening 'using' it

    There is no black 456M 1:18 model so I had to buy a Grigio and paint it black :)

    This was made by Hotwheels and I found it on EBay

    Anyone else read that in a Mick Jagger rhythm? "I see a Tan car and I want it painted Black, no more repairs I just want my fixed car back" :D

    Excellent!
    I got my mini-me a couple of weeks ago. Turns out the only Burago 456 GTs in Canna di Fucile (Sonderlackierung in German) were manufactured in celebration of the 90th anniversary of the German toy store Vedes, and there's only some 2000 or so in existence, so it took about 2 months to find one and have it shipped from the Netherlands!
    The very cool thing is that the box included a 1994 Burago catalog showing a 456 GT on the cover, so both the 1:18 and the 1:1 cars were produced around the same time!

    Sorry, here are the photos again!
