Adjusted my sagging drivers door by following this post:
Anyone re-align a Series-3 Spider driver door?

It’s a thousand times better now and only took a few tries/minutes to get it right.

getting the seats reupholstered and they should be done by next weekend! Had to re-tap a couple of captured nuts in the seat mounting perches…

My “just replace the vacuum hoses” project has snowballed into also cleaning maybe replacing the OVS, repairing the cross-engine intake hose, replacing the OVS hoses, fuel lines, injector lines, injector seals, and now apparently the darn coolant heater return and maybe the other radiator hoses. So probably flush the coolant while I’m at it. Only 10 days until the next cars and coffee wish me luck.

this post is deja vu for me.
What started out as motor mount replacement turned into everything you listed (because I had to remove the plenum of course) plus entire fuel line replacement, radiator replacement and water pump replacement.
...injector hoses, all vacuum lines, radiator hoses, belts, OVS, distributor cap, plug wires, plugs, valve cover gasket....you know, while I'm at it and while it's apart kinda thing.

it can snowball in a hurry!
congrats on the repairs!!

Built an new ovs from the kit by divotandtralee.
Polished it up with a wire wheel and it looks great in the car!

Aaannddd they're out of stock again. Let us know how it performs, sounds like an interesting upgrade.

Saw that late last week. Tried to get one.
What? If they are making them one at a time it may be a long wait ….

After spending the last 8 weeks trying to sort out the fuel delivery and replacing a head gasket (among many, many other things) I finally re-assembled the car and detailed it.
Clay bar followed by machine polish and finished with a nice wax job for the winter.
she's a beaut!

That looks really nice. Is “Sem” the manufacturer? Or are you saying “semi-gloss”.
Can you provide more information on what you used?
