Thanks for the welcome - There's a Type 3 Bentley currently on eBay - hopefully I'll end up being the high bidder. At the Sunday morning flea mkt I picked up a used Type 3 Haynes manual for $2 - I could of used it yesterday when I was trying to figure out how to open the trunks :). > > The number one thing that I can think of are > Fastback pop out window seals. > These are made of unobtainium.

The pan seems extremely solid - I can't find a bit of rust (so far). The FI system seems intact but the engine compartment is missing a few things. I'll post pictures for help. My popout seals look very tired. What seems to be the $$ threshold before someone steps up and remanufactures the 'unobtainium' bits and pcs.? Here's a question - I seem to be having a difficult time squeezing my right foot between the brake pedal to the left and the 'tunnel' to the right. Two solutions come mind 1) brake with left foot or 2) take a grinder wheel to the right side of the brake pedal to where it's flush with the right side brake pedal arm. What does everyone else do?
