Dito, except mine was 48 years ago Redline tires were the thing then. and you can still order them today. Wow I can;t beleave it was 48 years ago that i bought my first AMX ,, in all i bought and sold 397 two seater AMX's

 

Thanks ! those 'redlines' on the coupe are actually red 'Rimblades' . these are stuck to the wheel to protect from and or cover up , gutter rash.

the roadster has them too but in white. Rimblades are the only ones to get, ive tried a few other brands but these are the best

We removed the chipping tint on the headlights and polished them on the Rescue SRT, they came out nice. Pulled all 4 wheels off and cleaned the insides on the Rescue SRT. Got new tires for the rear on the black SRT. It rides nice at 80 now. It's the one I took a wheel down to Orlando and had a dent removed from...nice job they did. I'm happy. Meanwhile, the Limited Roadster just sits...

 

Hosed off the pollen from the car, dried it off and then put the car cover back on.

What a bummer!

 

i ordered a rare RHD piano black dash kit today and made a booking for kmac camber adjusters and a wheel alighn.

Removed and disassembled my DIY adjustable rear camber links and greased them up with white lithium grease.
Stupid me installed them with no lubrication thinking the poly bushings were sufficient.
NOT SO, they started squeaking, now they are happy again.

 

Does the piano black dash kit come with a tune?
This should B sharp when it's on.

 

Good one 180 very punnie.

 

Thanks 180 I hope it will look good

E minor, the sound of a screaming supercharger ?

anyways, Today i reinstalled the center console with its new leather skin on .I am pretty happy with how it came out.


leather console


The piano black kit is still in transit from the US. not sure if i need it now but wth.

That looks really nice,shame it doesn't carry on up the side of the centre console to finish it off.

 

Thanks !, yes it really needs the front pieces to complete it for sure. I have just been told about 10days and they will have those leather pieces available.
(i actually located the front center part for them on ebay.de that they needed to make a template for the leather front pieces

 

Very nice! Care to post your source for the leather pieces please?

 

That's good to know as I was looking at black with red stitching.

 

Beautiful leatherwork above....Witty answer with the "Bsharp" above that too...Washed all 3 plus the 08 black Ram truk. Detailed tires on all 4 rides and vacuumed the black SRT and pressure washed the engine on my GF's Psion boxcar before running out of steam. Now they're predicting rain and I have to garage all the crossies and mess up my truck. So ..this is retirement?

 

No worries ,here they are :J-F-CUSTOMS items - Get great deals on VOLKSWAGON, VAUXHALL OPEL items on eBay Stores!

 

Thank you!

 

Did my first XF oil change today. Easiest oil change ever, used the vacuum pump method.
My power seats have been erratic. I pulled down the instrument panel and removed the seat relay. Took the black plastic cover off to gain access to the PC board. Reflowed the solder joints for the 2 diodes and added a little 60/40 solder.
The seats work now with the door open car off and door closed with car running. Will not work with door open car running. I believe this is correct.


Red 04 coupe 6 speed..................Trekie

 

Bled brakes, changed CPS old one to trunk, ready for the season.

 

Installed leather covered sun visors to match door pulls, E brake, C pillars, and shifter boot.

 

Lesson learned, when you take out a fuse to see if it is blown make sure you put it back where it came from not into some space that is not used at all.

A week later I wondered why the garage door opener did not work and the gear shift was locked in park. Mind you the Owners Manual said that both were on separately fused circuits.
