Those were the days, when beautiful women fell from the sky and drove R100 coupes

cool car but good luck getting 5,500 for it. the NSU has little collector value since the parts need to be all custom made and the engine has very little longevity.

in reality it's only worth about $1500-2000

"Numerous small dings/dents, but no bondo"

I'm calling BS on that statement.

looks more like plaster that they used to fix the driver door and rear quarter, lol.

i'd rather have a datsun fairlady roadster. front engine rear wheel drive, similar style and can accomodate many newer engines, cheap and plentiful parts.

How long does it take to get parts from Rock Auto? I need to order a new clutch master and slave cylinder.
Also, where can I get the stainless steel braided clutch hydraulic line?
I have bled my system a number of times, but the fluid still turns cloudy and the clutch starts to work like sh_t and I am tired of it.

It depends on the warehouse, but it usually takes 2-5 days from order to doorstep for me. I don't think anything has taken more than a week and a half.

Peace, love and goodwill to all the creatures who crawl around this thing we call earth.

12A's Rule!!!

I'll show you what I mean in 2016.

Any body going to the 2-5-16 OGTA meeting?

Weather dot.com says it'll be sunny and in the 50's.

Gotta love this Global Warming, good for no rust rotary's and Felix would be proud.

Dang Brett, you are getting like me in your Old Age, correcting everybody's English.

You are absolutely correct, the first OGTA meeting of 2016 is scheduled for next Tuesday January 5, not February 5th. My FU.

Perhaps it was a subliminal subversion, but the fact is, I'll be there.

After all, the December waitresses were really cute, the rotary conversation was top notch and the manager came out to greet us after the business meeting, pretty cool.

Plus Mike paid for the beer. I know a good thing.

So anyway, who's else is going to be there?

Let's see, I wonder if all those FD's that couldn't get down their driveways for the December 2015 meet might be there?

You know, the ones with the gas leaks, vacuum disasters and sparrows in their turbines?

One was white and one was green, as I recall.

I'll be there in my white FD. I can get out of my driveway and my vacuum issues are all sorted out. I'm also finally not traveling for work that week.

Wait, you're showing up for a meet? That's almost as rare as Ray showing up!
