Custom wheel, roughly $300.00.

I'll be dreaming about a wheel like that.

I thought it funny that a new wheel like this one would be around 300$ and thats what I payed for the car.

I thought the parts would be in today, considering the fact that they have a warehouse near me. I didnt receive them, so i tracked it on the UPS website. It says that its on time and in transit to be delivered on OCTOBER 6! Well, i guess I will have to wait, shucks.

I have seen one of those wheels in an old BMW, I bet maybe you could dig one up at a swap meet. But for $300 I'll keep the one I have.


You have a clean looking car Sady hopefully once it is running it will serve you well. You should have ordered the parts from Fastlane, I usually get mine overnight and shipping is free. I think they have a warehouse in Stamford.

I did order all my parts from fastlane! The have a warehouse near me, and last time i ordered, it came the next day. I guess it will take them a while to find all my parts??

I dont know, i just wish they were here, so id have some more work to do.

I know they did that to me a few times to, if all of the parts you ordered were not in stock they will hold your order until their all their. I had to wait a week a few times.

Your car looks nice as I was reading the post I was beginning to think it was a beater. But it is diffinitly worth the time and money to get it running right. Have fun and enjoy the sharp learning curve!

Tried to send instructions, but it didn't work, because the file is 850kb too large. Have to try something else.

Hello Everyone.
Sady is gone for three days on a sudden family camping trip.
The FastLane parts did not arrive today.
Engine oil cooler lines are repaired, but could not be picked up today.
Sady will be busy with other things Monday.
I go in for surgery Tuesday.
The car gets a short rest from all the repairs.

OMG, Sady caused you to have a partial stroke

Hope it is not those kidney stones again, Roy. Be well.

Hello all, Im back from my camping trip. Hopefully we'll have time to get the oil cooler lines tomorrow. No other parts have been received yet. Thanks autozen for the GP diagnostics scan. This helped a lot, I did determine that the GP relay was in fact dead, and the new one should arrive shortly.

Thanks,

Edit: Anyone reading this thread that needs the very helpful GP Diagnostic sheet, send an email to glowplugdiagnostic@gmail.com and I will forward it to you.

I bet you have her running before the end of this week. Lets take bets on what day Sady gets her running!

Wow Whunter I hope your alright!
