Hey, well I decided to fix the broken sunroof guide on the 5-speed
(pot metal thingy with the curvy slots in it) with the one I pulled
off the parts car since it was almost sunny today and I've got no
work. Having just taken my first V8 sunroof out of the parts car, I
thought it would be a quick job. Getting it all alighned took
awhile, but finally got it adjusted(was always a bit low to begin
with) and it looked good. I opened/closed it a few times to verify,
and on the 3rd try, the other side broke in the exact same spot(thin
spot). I then had to swap/epoxy some of the plastic sliders to get
the other side back in. Had to tap out one of the sunroof mount
threads as it was kinda sloppy from sometime before.....All in all,
really wish I was getting $90/hr to do it as it took about 1/2 the day.
Still have a garage full of Titan Grey body parts that I don't want/
need. I'm pillaging stuff out of the doors, so I'm trying to find
someone who's got dents/bad paint that wants a simple fix....Hate to
crush them.
Anyone just have to have a 1980 BMW 635 Alpina that comes with a
parts car and a completely rebuilt(for large money by some famous BMW
shop in LA) motor still in the crate? Friend of mine is liquidating
stuff, and asked me today.
Hope all's well....Tom
