What have you done to your 8er this winter?

  • This winter the car has got Inspection2 and several other checks fixes done :)


    I have replaced:
    Engine Oil , Gear Oil , Diff Oil , Brake fluid , Drained the hydraulic system replace all Pentosin and cleaned the 3 filters.
    Replaced Air filters , Coupe filters , Oil filter , Pentosin filter, Gasolin filters
    Replaced belts , Gasolin hoses , most water hoses and Sparkplugs.
    Fixed and locked the Banjobolts and gaskets.
    New oilpan gasket.
    Repaired the front seat height adjustment.


    Belts where from 1997 so probably about time , hoses where from 1994 so for sure about time.
    And there is probably more I have forgotten , but I hope sh will run without any issues this year as well :driver:

    If I misspelled a word it's because I'm Norwegian, so bear with me.

    Thanks Terje for the compliment.
    My car is still far away from factory new but it's good enough for me as it always has to act as a prototype for my experiments.
    Next is a new (totally illegal) self made exhaust system. ;)


    This week I'm going to rip the M70 out of Antonin's 850 and drop in the M70B54 I prepared.
    And THEN I will finally go ahead with my car. Install the brake booster and engine incl. drive train. Some paint work needs to be done parallel on both front fenders as I found a little bit of rust.
    I have booked a hotel room for the semi local (DACH region) season opening meeting mid April in the Black Forrest and am not planning to go there in a rental car. :laugh:


    Cheers

    it's not how many miles on a tank,
    but how many smiles;-)
