Re: Coupé brakes vacuum pump: is it indispensable?

Bom dia Massimo, I think you will probably not get the response you’re looking for on this forum. What you’re asking for is validation that it’s safe to drive a car with a major component missing.

2.4 oil pump

I’m rebuilding the 2.0 at this time. I have a 2.4 oil pump, on close inspection I find the pump gears are as new. However something harder than the pump body got sucked into the pump.

Spider vent glass

Does anyone have a spare vent glass they’d like to part with.
They are not the same as the 124.

Also I have a new Speedo cable and clutch plate for the 2.4’s if anybody need them for basically half the Superformance price + shipping from Portugal

Re: Build finishes

I mentioned my thoughts on colours for the valve covers, dump etc. After seeing several pics of early engines in advertising stuff, other owner’s comments, I decided on a darkish gold ceracote finish. Same coating for the sump but a grey almost the same as the original after cleaning. All internal a...

Re: Build finishes

I sent the car for chemical stripping. Everything except the boot lid went into a 4 dip process. Paint stripping, body filler and all rubberized coatings and finally rust removal. Then it was pacified kiln dried and finally dipped upside then flipped to get into all the interior voids. I’m very happ...
