Vlad: The Zinno '87 535is

[tig]

Work has been slow the past couple of days so I browsed all 32 pages across Friday afternoon and this morning. Thanks for the great documentation. It's definitely inspirational to finally get my own project back on track and you've given me a few ideas moving forward. The Crank nut thing scares the shit out of me when I mess with putting an engine back together. I don't know what "worst case scenario" would be on that type of failure, but I don't want to find out either. You got away with one there for sure. Beautiful car, not sure I would emulate everything done to it, but there's plenty to drool over. Keep it up!

Glad I could help you waste time.

It's not wasting time if I'm learning something right? And football season is over so I'm running out of opinion articles to read.

Got the new subframe with the IE adjustable camber/toe kits welded in back from my guy. I'm gonna media blast and paint it. I will put powerflex subframe bushings in.



Vlad's current subframe that already has powerflex bushings will go into Maytag which needs new subframe bushings. Everyone wins!

Good plan!

I love both of your threads. Very informative. I should have never sold my e30.....

Sigh.

Did someone with epilepsy mask off the black portion of these wheels?

Laugh all you want...my understanding is these wheels have not been refinished. I could be wrong, but when I got them they had 10+ year old tires on them.

what if you actually decreased their value by fixing that "flaw".

Is that a "statement" or a question? Am I supposed to imagine you throwing "air quotes" when I read what you wrote in this quote? And what and who are "you" referring to?

Looks much better now, how is the euro conversion going?

i guess it's a rhetorical statement to the anal retentative "so-n-so," regarding some slim chance, that they were hand painted by some dude with epilepsy, that happened to be working at alpina that month. if that's the case, by fixing that "flaw," you might have decreased their value. i doubt it, but you never know. ya know? it was a rediculous thought and wanted to pass it along to someone with a keen sense of humor.

either way, it's a nice car. i bet you love it.
