Some do & others don't have a plug,eh?...OK, I'll check it out & see. Thanks guys

Yea, I'll be careful, have some experience in that regard.*

p___'s me off if to waste the gas, what w/ this State having the highest gas prices. I do use it for weed/brush killer at least.

*True story....around age 21, Wife #1 & went remote 4wd camping...had the 'ol Coleman stove that used White Gas...was also called Naphtha. HIGHLY flammable. Had trouble lighting the camp fire...being highly educated (BS Degree), I knew better then to pour that on the fire, so put a tiny bit in a cup & moved the capped gallon can 3-4 Ft. away. Started a nice flame in the fire...I also saw in slow motion it seemed, the vapor gas trail ignite in a arch from the fire to the closed gallon can...I knew in that instant that not only would it kill me, but I was honestly more worried about burning the forest down w/ no help near by. I garbed fistfuls of dirt & spread it everywhere. The scar on my hand is still visible but the forest was saved. Cheap lesson that I will never forget.

Hey, Bolt...u deserve 2 thumbs up for the Mrs., but for the other guys I got that pic uploaded

My Dad drove me & him around West Germany in an Isetta during the early 1960s...what a blast sitting in that seat w/ nothing in front of it....& yes, fitting it in any small place is a plus. However, u do have to accept the fact that if someone front ends u in the parking lot, u will be a fatality.

Those large BMWs r BEAUTIFUL (excepting that color of course). BMW lost their shirt on their bet that they would be popular against the large MBs which were becoming the cars of choice for the West German upper classes after the war. Although the initial price was doable for me, I gave up the idea of importing one when I realized the parts & repair costs would bankrupt me.

Guess you're driving the wrong year BMW in the wrong city............snip.......At least once a week I get someone to nod, give a thumbs up, or start a conversation on my 1993. I find it promising that so many teenagers at the high school where I sub, are quite knowledgeable about both my 69 mach and 93 bmw.

3 things......

1. Not a fan of newer BMWs (I'm stuck in my teenage years), but have to say that yours is a pretty one....b___'n color. It falls in the middle of the age when designers could still produce some good looking cars to now when cars are safer, faster, more efficient but have no SOUL.

2. Still disappointed that u own a BMW though...sigh...

3. When looking to buy my 4th & final oldie, I seriously looked into these Beemers, but the Mustang won out.

Had to look up WTH is a WRX.




 

Ya know cman66, we all do those dumb a__ things...don't let it bother u.

PS. I admire u'r dedication in sticking to a very long & arduous project (something I would never have the guts to try)...enjoy it soon!

Don't the mods think this thread should really be posted in the Tech section...it's kind of hidden here.

Got the pics up on my new setup. Take a look at my "cooling done thread.." No A/C yet, but hope to add vintage air this year.

TKO...my fan is a SPAL ...does seem to be high quality & it's doing a good job.

RPM....
gezz, am I a  d__b s___t  or what?.....I thought the CHPies had to do it....thanks...

"I am serious and don't call me Shirley."

Hey...tinypic decided to play nice this morning..here's the new cooling solution...took a spin around the hood........ dialed in when the fan comes on & temps are Good Look'n!

Had to do a few mods as the Scott Drake fan/shroud is made for their rad not my Dewitt. I also cut off every other plastic fan guard...don't know if that relieved much back pressure, but thought I'd try it anyway



Here u can see how lightly the vin shows on the drivers side.



This is for BB...he said my garage was too clean & tidy...on the rare occasions  when I do actually work on the oldies, it does look like this or worse. Trouble is that I can't sleep at night because it is in this....the German in me demands ORDER!

btw...had to change a tire valve stem on the MuttiMobile.





PLUS...with your purchase u also receive free of charge, a closer look at one of my wall funnies!

Mucho Thanks JK. Sounds scary to "pull the fender back".

Before trying it, lemme get me facts straight...remove all the top bolts running from firewall to front, then pull the fender towards the outside...is that correct?

The engine compartment looks so pretty, I'm afraid if I remove the paint on the drivers side I'll be left w/ an eyesore.

Nice frame, btw....don't take that the wrong way...I'm straight as an arrow...really.

 

Would show ya the new rad/fan/shroud setup but tinypic on strike. I've tried a few times, but will have to just say...f___ it.

TKO should be happy...stayed w/ electric fan. Temps look great as well as the actual setup.

Time to register the beast, so I looked at the Vin #s. Since it's an out of state car, I know the AAA gals will be looking at them & I expect probs. They'll refer me to the CHPies who will want to look at the hidden locations.

Only the last 4-5 #s are faintly visible on the drivers side top fender location. They're covered by the gold paint, plus look lightly stamped. Sure don't want anyone removing the paint. From researching, it seems the hidden #s are under the top of the front fender junctions by the hood hinges . I don't want the CHPies prying those apart to have a look-see. Can't see anything under the fenders through the wheel-well. It's undercoated. Don't know if removing that would make the #s visible. The door stamp is OK, but it doesn't really count in this case.

Got any ideas to might help me out of this quagmire?

Jealous that I got it on sale? Actually, had to return it...it pinched in all the wrong places.

BB

Pickup any chicks?
No prob over here w/ the Vette's side pipes either...in the 60's Chev listed them on the order sheet as "Off Road"...think even then, the Man gave them a pass...at least in my Van Nuys Blvd. Cruising days....that was before the Blvd. became too rough & the city clamped down on it.

Long time ago, in a land far away....had a younger guy looking & talking about my MuttiMobile (the Valiant SW), "Wow you must feel safe w/ all that strong metal around you"

I then politely showed him the pretty metal gadgets inside & how they would rip out my skin, eyeballs, etc in a 5-10mph crash, how the pretty steering wheel would go through my insides, blah, blah. Every time I drive my oldies I know I'm risking mayhem to my lovely features.

Ya know, there's more to life than bringing Zombie Mustangs back to life by welding them together, rebuilding powertrains, refining suspensions. What about us Great Unwashed Masses whose skills have worn away by using up our Bodily Fluids going through life & just need to do a few things to get the Pony running? Let's hear it for the Little People!

In my never-ending quest to find the trivial things to fix, I installed a battery disconnect switch. Got the same type as on the other cars & have had good luck with'em.


Finally looking closely at my Mustang, it shows attention to detail was done by the team that did the cosmetics. Nice vinyl protection next to the terminal so it doesn't come into contract w/ the body...had to extend it a tad now. Wonder why the power-train people so screwed up on the cooling.

Removed the remaining kick panel & those ghetto-blasters in the rear. Seems I don't have to replace that panel, just sand/bondo the holes the installers made. Me thinks if I try to match the paint, it'll stand out. Anything different you guys would try?


If anyone is close enough to come get them, I'd give you the 2 panels & 4 speakers for the price of a cheap lunch. I think rpm is the closest but even he is 3-4 hours away. Don't think they're worth the effort/expense to package & ship 'em.





 

thanks...I'll check some ...eh...other..different.. sites for new pics of my ex's or GFs meanwhile.
