    Anyone want a B3?

    Carb and carby intake?

    Usable used clutch and flywheel/pressure plate?

    Cargo covers?

    Green hatch that's been poorly painted black? [could probably clean the crappy black off it and have the green back]

    Set of tail lights?

    Fenders?

    Doors?

    Any other random parts?

    I gotta finance this crap somehow...

    [I can deliver stuff within a reasonable distance for fuel money... my van only gets about 18MPG though unless I borrow dad's Festy]

    Thanks...
    Had some scuffs but they came right off....best thing I've found to clean the plastic parts is a Mr Clean Magic Eraser sponge and water.
    Cleans it up like Magic.

    ^^ and then on top of that, valve guides are SUPPOSED to run dry.

    Hardened iron on cast iron, go figure that out...


    A day or so and oil just past exhaust ports will burn and clean out. What you're seeing is whatever sitting in the manifold from old seal bypass id imagine

    Pulled all the A/C components without breaking anything in case anyone wants them. Fins on the condenser are a little beat up, but a radiator comb can fix that easily.

    Everything was still under pressure when I opened the system up, so I had to close it back up and have a friend come over with his A/C service crap and suck all the refrigerant out.

    Afaik it's factory installed and actually worked. Been too long since I drove the car to confirm it though.
    How much you want for that and do you wanna bring it to Madness?

    Yeah i'm literally only running the setup long enough to show that it runs, then selling it... however, if I can do a little more work on the mill station and save the next guy some inventing, I guess I'll just do it.

    Even if I can't get them brazed, it's easy enough to thread the flange and put pipe nipples in it to create an external coolant manifold under the runners.
