Re: Replacing exhaust manifold and gaskets on 96 R. Likelihood of breaking studs?

Re: 1987 245 Daily Driver Project

Re: Milgram Ship from Antlers OK to NY

It’s a sad tale but one worth understanding. A big heavy part at point A in space is worth more/less than same part in point B in space. I could find someone remove it I think.

Yup. One like that, but much less shiny.

I am still waiting for the laying on of the sword.
