Hi, first time post just looking for some advice. I'm planning on starting the interior transformation of my Z. First thing is to take the headliner out and get this print on it. My plan is to do the following:

1: Remove headliner, scrub with brush until all the old foam/adhesive is removed, clean with panel wipe

2: Spray Trim Fix heavy duty high temp strong adhesive on the headliner & back of my foam backed headliner padding fabric, leave to cure

3: Spray Wayside HTA1000 Waterbased (Heat activated) contact adhesive on the foam, using 1.4 tip HVLP gun, then spray the back of my 140gsm cotton foil print fabric

4: Drop the fabric on to the foam with a helper to keep it stretched out, activate with a heat gun and then trim to size

5: refit and hope for the best 😂

Not sure if anyone else has tried this sort of thing before? Im most worried about bleed through of the adhesive on the cotton. Considering only spraying a fine layer to the foam, bringing the cotton to it before it flashes off and heat activating it after?

Thanks for any tips!

Hi all I’m after some diesel injectors for my merc 300d however I’m having trouble finding some that are trust worthy.

I’ve attached a photo of my bus. 🤭

Hey yall I just found this 1997 cobra on market place that I’m interested in possibly purchasing. It doesn’t have a motor or trans so it would never be a numbers matching vehicle but I’m curious to see what others may think of the value of it. I have plenty of mechanical experience and have been looking for a project car. If I were to buy it the plan would be to make it into a weekend toy and backup vehicle if needed. I want to be able to take it onto the track eventually and yes I’m aware that’ll require a lot of work.

Edit: thank yall for the advice thus far it’s greatly appreciated and pointing out things I didn’t notice at first

Hi,

can anyone identify these seats from the photos?

They are currently installed in my VW T3 (Vanagon/Transporter), but I don’t know what vehicle they originally came from or who manufactured them.

I need to get the seats officially approved/registered in my T3 by the German TÜV. For that I’m trying to find an identification number or documentation for them.

I have already checked underneath the seats and around the seat frames, but unfortunately I couldn’t find any manufacturer label, type plate, part number or other useful identification.

I’m specifically looking for the:

• exact seat manufacturer and model
• original vehicle/model they came from
• approximate production years
• OEM/part number
• KBA number, type plate or other official identification, if applicable

If anyone recognizes the seat shape, upholstery pattern or frame construction from the photos, I’d really appreciate any information.

The main goal is to find enough documentation or an identification number to get these seats registered in my VW T3 in Germany.

Thanks!

Dad and I got a raw fiberglass Manx body and a beetle frame with no floor. Took 3 summers, but she’s finally done!

Spent an hour and a half trying to find any truck with rec ports and finally found a set. These things are mint on the inside, all valves are straight, seats are perfect, just about as spotless as they can get on a junkyard motor. All for the sweet price of $75 a head.

I've had this thing apart since March 2020 so it's pretty crazy to see it move under its own power. Lots of tuning to do but I wanted to share a little clip from last night.

“Buddy gonna shut you down”

1600 Giulia Spider. Needs some light bodywork and then it’s all there for reassembly after 40 some years

I went and looked at these vehicles today. Initially, the seller gave me a specific price, but then raised the price afterward. I was also told that both vehicles had titles. Now, I’m being told that neither vehicle has a title. The conflicting information and changing terms are very concerning and make the situation seem extremely sketchy. What’s your thoughts?

this here is my 1986 pontiac trans am project. it was efi from factory, but the previous owner carb swapped it, with an unnamed edelbrock intake, as well as a quadrajet carb that had a plastic, and soon to break, vavumm idler on it. after the vacuum idler broke, and I spent a few weeks manually idling it, the car eventually started having some fuel flooding problems, and after just w months prior tearing the whole carb apart and blasting air thru the channels to clean it out, I decided maybe this carb wasn't worth it, and to just run to another quadrajet I got when I bought a 350 sbc engine I planned to build and theow at this car. upon bolting the carb on, it ran like shit immediately lmao. im under the impression that its a vacuum leak issue, because when the car first starts cold, it'll idle high as fuxk sometimes, like 1500 rpms, and other times it'll burble and chop around 500rpms, or just die upon letting of the gas. I took the carb off the car, to maybe see if there was a misalignment in the gasket that came with the carb, and it visually seems fine, so i hsve no idea

pictures in question will be in the comments, cant post a video and pictures for some reason

I ask all of this to see, basically I wanna just buy a new off the shelf carb, and be done with this 80s horseshit. I dont know what kinda intake I hsve, theres no numbers stamped literally anywhere, just the word performer raised lettering nearest to the firewall on top. if anyone could help me either diagnose my issue, or identify the intake manifold so I can just buy a new carb, that would be lovely
