Re: '83 Ur-Q for sale...

["Gaidos, A." <agaidos@got.net>]

 Jeff, there could be more headlight frames. That is just what DeeDee told
me at Carlsen. Mine were trashed and needed replacement. I knew they were
few so I bit it and paid something like $400 for the pair. It was expensive
but what choice did I have.
 Now try and find factory turbo oil lines for it or a replacement speedo -
which I need. I ended up having a local race shop make me new oil lines
using the original fittings. They look ( or did last time I was under there)
great.
Yikes! For those toying with buying one of these, there's some food for
thought.
