I've grown up at the racetrack, so I vote racecar. We're doing the heater core and A/C refurbish in my fathers car its not fun. If you do decide to do it and actually fix the heater and go through all that, just take the windshield out.

I removed the ac from my car completely a few years ago so the heater core won't be bad. I just don't have the money to fix it anytime soon. I'll probably just mothball the car until work pickups in my shop or after I go out of business.

You never do what you say you're going to do, but always do what you don't say you're going to do.

I see a fire sale in your future.

I told you I didn't want to work on your car a few years ago. That worked out pretty well for everyone.

Definitely not, that would require dealing with the public, no thanks!

If I could handle dealing with people I would have sold this car years ago.

I did enjoy it quickly, put less than a hundred miles on it before the heater core went out. It took over 300k miles before the car got serious attention now it's suicidal. I have that affect on things.

That Yugo with Hungarian license plate... Hurts.

*Edit: Zastava it is.

Good luck!

Looking for opinions, what do you guy think I should ask for this car?

To the right buyer, I think you could get $8500. It appears to be a nice, well sorted car now!

Pulling the heater box out tonight.

I got the heater out tonight, it took about two hours from the time I started until having the core out of the box. It's a disgusting mess so it will take a while to clean up. One more thing the next owner won't have to deal with.

You do nice work. Are you going to put it back in. Because if you don't, then the next owner really won't have to deal with it.

This just became a part out thread.

It's a rather easy job when you no longer have ac. I loosened the dash but there was no reason to remove it from the car. E28s are so basic to work on, it was actually rather fun.

Just got off the horn with the local dealer and found out the seals and gaskets for the heater box are NLA. Good thing I have elmers glue.

Yup, same with E30 stuff. Went NLA last year.

Great Stuff?

wouldnt call out the great stuff. My shop turned me onto a new silicone.. its called dirko. I think elring makes it.I went from having to replace 5 wheel barrels a year to 4. Worth it.

Course I was running racing wheels during a bridge construction so what do i know..

All I know is they call me dirko dave.

The foam, I dunno. find something that is close to the same size and trim it. Probably find some 3m tack adhesive. I heard loctite makes some tough stuff now.

I'm just going to cover the hole with leather and call it done.

We used some tape on foam insulation for household stuff or something from lowes. It worked very well
bascially stuff like this https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=c ... n%20gasket

Perfect timing, going to do the same in a bit. Thanks for informations.

It's all very basic stuff.

I pulled the carpet out of the car and found that the pad below was completely saturated front and rear on the drivers side, it was also under the tar paper in a few places so I removed that as well. One step closer to a parts car.

I might put it back together around spring time or sell it as an autox car.

What's a little padding? One step closer to new

My car has been trapped in the shop for nearly a month, I tried to get up the hill out of my shop but this is as far as it got. It's finally supposed to all melt and turn to flooding by mid week. I just pulled it back in the shop so no one crashes into it.

What an annoying winter it has been here.
