Two Projects for sale with a bunch of parts. Red one runs but is ugly https://youtu.be/JmhcmJd4tMc Black one has no drivetrain installed but body is nice. https://youtu.be/Bpol2AWik1s I think it has a little dent somewhere. The existing interior of the black one sucks but I have a set of cloth seats...

yeah thanks maybe it is the inner tie rod ends
The tires had been sitting which might make it worse but I had this problem before I parked it. It’s weird like it’s worse under load like going uphill. I checked the guibo and it’s ok too.

I fixed the links. Apparently Facebook links don’t work.

Hey guys. It looks like you’re still here. What do you think this shaky shaky is?

Thanks for the line from San Diego! back on the road.

check at the parts store. just take the line with you to compare. they have assorted sizes. Too funny! I got a couple of fittings that look a little different, some tubing to bend in boiling water, and a "good luck" from the parts guy. He also said "It's too bad they came up with dum...

I need a new line from the fuel filter to the fuel pump. Does anyone have a merkur graveyard that wants to part with one? I could try to make one but I'm not sure about bending the nylon this looks like it's factory bent. I can get a 90 new but then there is another 90 after that on each end. The fi...

It was leaking at the outlet of the high pressure pump. There is rust on the outlet. I got the inlet off ok but I had a hard time with the outlet. Finally it came off but a white plastic piece with two o rings is stuck on the pump outlet. the black potion of the connector is intact. Usually when I r...

Yeah, tank was only 1/2 full so probably not the o-ring at the top

I'll let you know when I get to it... thanks.

Humpty Dumpty is leaking gasoline somewhere in the back. To those of you who have experienced this, what did you end up replacing? Thanks.

So I have to take the valve cover off to get to the blower motor?? Only in a Merkur...

I've tried the garden hose before. I'll see about tearing it apart to get to the motor and core

I drove Humpty Dumpty to work today. I had been losing interest for quite some time, but just this weekend I replaced a rotor and there is much less shaking.

Now, if I could get the thing to stop blowing cold air on my feet - I need a fan motor and maybe a heater core. Any tips?

Thanks.

Anyone else get excited when there speedometer starts to randomly work again for a few minutes? haha

Hmmm. I can't stop obsessing over this. Leave it all in black primer? Roll on some rustoleum? Or $500 for orange peel? Save time and money for the 86... My son Ben who is 4 is already telling me about the 86 "we have to get my car fixed ...pull it out of here and clean out the spider webs ...go...
