Repair-It

It has two keys. I backed it up to my driveway but the next thing I did was take the key out and try the Keyless Go (button on shifter to start it, just like my E55). It worked! Good start (get it?). It is getting late but I did take it on a couple of neighborhood test drives. I already have some de...

He drove by at 8:08pm headed west on my street and basically just stopped in the road several hundred feet from my driveway to get the car off. I walked over to greet him. Nice guy, was driving a real semi tractor, or I guess one sort of made for this kind of work. 20240519_201047.jpg 20240519_20123...

Alignment. He installed my camber bolt in the forward thrust arm, which is incorrect. I don't know why he did this. He should have installed it in the main spring control arm and adjusted it to pull inboard. He said he pulled the adjustment inboard on the thrust arm for what that's worth. WIS has a ...

Last shot on the factory wheels. 20240518_075512.jpg This is the only shot I have of the new wheels and I will explain why, somewhere. 20240518_103918.jpg The tech actually popped the center caps out from my old wheels and installed them in the new ones. I said I might buy the black 5 spoke center c...

Some pics. It seems like the more expensive one from PA (I say more expensive because it was an extra $10 plus shipping as the delta cost) is heavier. It was 24.5 lbs whereas the cheaper one from TX was 23.75 lbs. I feel like the PA one is a higher quality refinish (and perhaps a bit darker). But it...

Second wheel out for delivery! I ordered this first (and it's from TX). Hope it arrives with no damage.

That's a common leak. It's just sealant. The passenger side is easier. Probably have to remove the boost pipes which can get stuck down at the turbos. Driver's side will probably require removal of the oil filter adapter and maybe oil cooler. It would make sense to do new seals on ANYTHING you distu...

Just a few short years later and that's it. Engine, transmission and rear axle was pulled. Maybe a few other odds and ends. It was junked yesterday. Here are some pics. IMG_1584.jpg IMG_1597.jpg IMG_1598.jpg IMG_1593.jpg I asked Bing Copilot for a commemorative poem which was pretty awesome. Here is...

It's weird that both VIN Decoderz and EPC couldn't read the VIN.

59.3 gal @ $2.95. Exeter fuel is $3.35 at this quantity and still $3.13 at 500+ gal.
