I hope you enjoy these

Hi
i've a 1936 Diamond T model 80D Panel truck. I need headlamp buckets and tie rod ends. Please can anyone help?
Thank you

Just thinking your spending a lot of time and money on the body..... that's good really it will be a shame to have a car that doesn't run as good as it looks......... Over the years I have built many many off these. I'm retired so I'm not looking for work but really think about a balanced and blueprinted motor. Done right these are a smooth and quiet running engine........ they will always get you home. The best parts for the engine must be made. Good luck

There can be a lot of looking and waiting on parts...... I hate to see a fine project get bogged down
-
Progress looks good. What are you doing to the mechanical bits?

Peter
It's Rosengart

The 1940 327 has a little different body

The 327 is a great road car you'll be happy with it.
I get 328 HP numbers from the 319/1 engine I building for the 315. After all that's my game. Prewar BMW really do respond to a little tuning.

Yes West it will be leatherette covered. Fenders and radiator are painted hood is engine turned. This is a Weinberger one-off "low chassis "car. It is a couple inches lower at the cowl than my factory light weight 328 race car

I collected BMWs since the 1970's sold some to buy more each time something that was more special. This car is a one off as are most of the 328's we own. I sold all the 327s owed over the years. The combination of wood rot and corrosion we just over my skill level. The damage shown in this thread are pretty much typical for 327s. They are wonderful cars but have no separate frame like the other sports cars. I've raced several and the 327s are quick but more heavy handed too.
I'm glad you like the little 315/1 it's lower and shorter that a 328.

Here is my present BMW project
http://www.simon-coach.com/the-projects/archives/08-2014
The magic Hungarians now have the body done and I sent the wheels to get restrung. The rear fenders are new and some of the wood too, I have three original engines to choose from including the matching numbers one with standard bore. I need to mix and match the best pieces. I'm in no hurry

Hi Ian
327 rims differ from 328. Several firms sell new 328 rims solid and otherwise. Many come from here in Poland

Peter You did show me a photo but we discovered the previous owner's name on the back....... after I brought it. Your inkwell is a beauty and should get that price. But not here..... or even EBay but a special auction like David Gooding's I've never seen a bronze one silver plated. And never seen a plated signed...... doesn't mean they never plated bronze
Steve there are a lot of copies (fakes) around. Some made of plaster without an opening rear lid.

How often does that "I have no idea the value" thing work for you?
-
Peter you know your not the only one that finds good deals...... do you remember the Siata V-8 I found for you for $1500? Or that dumb little Fiat coupe $75 All good fun.
-
Yup I understand sad to pull and empty trailer and they bounce a lot unloaded
-
Peter I've one like yours I brought in Munich in the late 80's for 75 bucks. Think you've seen it when we were living in the USA

Thank you Bob
It's the phone itself not our VoIP Vonage.
Do you know the malware and service problems with Skype? The Vonage line is like talking next door
-
My phone has died.... it will take a few days before I can call Mr Kurtz
Thank you for understanding

There are a lot of good guys here but a few hours notice??

Gary....... Wool was the preferred material for sweaters..... more fire resistant than cotton. Overalls were dipped in Borax to make the fire resistant. My friend wore a belt so he wasn't sitting in mud and garbage.

You could choose a custom body maker. Make the car very different from others. You could get a 327 fitted with a 328 engine. And have that performance (almost) in a mush more comfortable weather tight car
-
VW Headlamps ARE NOT a conversion they are a factory design development. Chassis numbers have very little to do with details as they were basically a handmade car
-
There were several body makers doing these cars. Lots of customs. I remember a 327 w/335 engine. In BMWs sales book it was a special order. Headlamps changed from round to oval. I remember two coupe with fully opening rear trunks
