    SOLD  80 Series: Wit's End Quarter Panel Mount

    Inside quarter panel from Wit's End. This was installed, but not drilled. It has some scuffs from being installed (you will curse a lot when you do this!), but they will be hidden once installed. It's a bit cumbersome to ship, but if they are no local buyers in the SF Bay Area, I'll ship it at...

    Driver's side: under the hood heat

    I'm noticing that the area around the brake master cylinder is quite hot after a few miles of driving, especially the upper part of the fender where it meets the hood. I have an under the hood insulator so I can't tell if that area would be hot too, or if it's more fender related. I can't...

    TVV ( Thermal Vacuum Valve) hose placement

    I just replaced on the vacuum hoses under my intake and was pretty careful with routing the new lines. However, the TVV lines were not connector to the TVV itself when I took off the intake so I wasn't able to take note of which line went where. There is a pair of lines that exit the lower...

    Replaced fan clutch, shroud is hitting blades.

    Ok, I feel silly for this one, but I just replaced the fan clutch, belts, idler and AC pulley. Fun and easy, and when it idles it is far quieter than when it was running the original pulleys and gates belts. The difference is kind of amazing. However, I went for test drive and got the buzzsaw...

    Fuel pump replacement and soft lines

    I'm going to be replacing my fuel pump, so I figured I should likely replace the soft lines while the access door is open. I assume there is a return and vent line that are accessible in the hatch, but are the other ends where they connect to the hard lines accessible from underneath by the...

    Missing Idle pulley

    I'm going to replace the notched belts that the PO put on as they are finally starting to wear, and it looks like they also removed the idle pulley (wasn't aware this was a thing). I'd like to add this back and I already ordered a new one for the AC from Wits End, but I'm not sure if it's the...

    Where does the PHH pipe mount to the engine?

    I was doing the rear heater delete today (that was surprisingly unpleasant, mostly due to access and crusty hoses). Apparently the PO replaced the PHH, which was a nice thing to learn, but he didn't bother reconnecting the pipe to the block with the 2(?) mounts. However, it's not clear to me...

    Wanted  CA: FZJ80 tailgate, white

    I'm looking for a rust free tailgate in excellent condition, in white. I would prefer the SF bay area so I don't have to ship, but am open to shipping if it won't be too outrageous. It needs to be straight all around, including the inside (mine is bent there which is why I'm looking to replace it).

    Concave tailgate (or is this normal?)

    I was replacing some weatherstripping on the rear hatch and noticed my tailgate seems to be a bit convex. I have no idea if it's been bent from heavy things, or if that's normal. I'm guessing the former. It seems to just make a seal, but I'm not confident in it. I'm thinking I should un-bend...

    Part number? weatherstripping on the bottom of the rear door/hatch

    I can't find this on the diagrams, but it's the weatherstripping on the bottom of the tailgate hatch/door, the same kind that is around the front and rear passenger doors; it's a rectangular shape and seals where the hatch and tailgate meet. This is for a 96, if that matters, but I think it...

    Rear quarter window run leaks

    I replaced the window runs on the rear quarter windows and noticed when washing it there was water on the inside channels. I know there are drain channels there, but I'm wondering if this is normal. I will say, I never felt that good about how the new runs went in, as there was a gap around the...

    SOLD  FZJ80 front engine splash guard.

    Mine is missing and I"d like to add it. Bolts would be handy too, if you have them.

    SOLD  CA Bay Area : Audi TT seats, will fit 80s and maybe more.

    I bought these for an 80, but decided to go another route. I did a mockup on a planter bracket (not a simple bolt up with that adapter, but minor modifications will get you there) and headroom seemed about the same or maybe a 1/2 less (not more for sure) -- but legroom seems way better with...

    Wanted  95-97 Interior: grey leather door arm rests

    My DS and PS arm wrests are dry and nasty, but the back ones are in good condition and I think interchangeable, so I'm going to swap them and am looking for a replacement set for the rears in good condition (not rock hard and faded). I'm also looking for the little grey plastic panel/cap on the...

    Are these knuckle seal (?) bolts normally like this?

    I was cleaning some crud off this morning underneath and noticed the two bolts (studs?) on each knuckle appear to be backing out, or just not seated all the way. They are ones in the photo at 3 and 9 o'clock. It's the same on both knuckles so that makes me think it's normal, but man, it doesn't...

    Pair of hoses by the starter?

    I am going to tackle replacing the starter and was poking around and looking for "while I'm there" items. I noticed a couple hoses that are seeming pretty worn above the starter. I can see where they connect (maybe trans related?) but no idea where they terminate. Maybe that will become clear...

    Oxygen sensor connector (rear)

    Ok, a little embarrassed here. I was feeling great as I was able to remove the nasty little rust pods that used to be nuts on both 02 sensors, but then i realized I have no idea how to undo these little electrical connectors. I managed to get the front one apart, but i'm not sure how, i just...

    SOLD  80 series DS front seat rails or "feet"

    I'm making a custom bracket for some new seats and I'd like use the attachment feet from an OEM seat so it looks a little nicer. I need both passenger and drivers side. Can be attached to the rails or removed, no preference. Thanks.

    Setting the timing, and skeptical of the readings I'm getting.

    I've completed a tune-up, including a refresh of the fuel delivery components, including FP regular, relay, filters, etc. It starts like a champ and fires up on the first crank when cold, but hot starts will crank and stumble for a bit. It always does start though, so this is not super...

    Help identifying a vacuum sensor

    I'm replacing some dry vacuum lines and when replacing the line on this sensor on the manifold I noticed it was a bit loose. Now, it can't have backed itself out I assume, so I'm a) not sure why it was threaded in loosely and b) thinking I should seat it snugly and c) wondering exactly what it...
