WIBIMMERS

Sorry not sure why this didn’t show up in the unread for me. The certificate is renewed now, apologies on that.    also I’m working on migrating to a new forum software, NodeBb, but it’s a slow process.

Collecting parts!  Still holding out hope.  Hahaha. Sadly, the M5 is not on the list before the Porsche. That is an eternal project probably never to be completed, hahaha.

I'm posting the worst FS ad ever, just to drum up some interest.  This is one of those cars that someone with genuine interest will look past my shortcomings as an ad poster and request additional info. I'm posting this for my Uncle who owns the car and did all the restoration.  He is ridiculously picky about the level of perfection that he puts into cars and has helped with other isetta restorations. I don't know the year, or any other 'normal' details. I do know that this car sat in my Grandpas barn (non-animal barn) since probably before I was born, then we moved it to my dads shop (dry and heated) then it went to my uncle in the early 90's. I would venture to say that this will be one of the most perfect restorations you will see.   He is asking $45K.  At a concours type auction it would probably get low to mid 50's If you or someone you know is genuinely interested, I can get you in contact with him.

I would recommend E-coat. PPG E-Coat Powercron 6000CX is a semi-gloss black electrostatic liquid coating. Think powdercoating, but liquid instead of powder. The benefit of e-coat over powdercoat is it is very good for tight tolerance/holes/features where you dont want coating buildup/uneven thickness. Its a commonly used automotive coating. The downside is it is less UV stable than powder. Try Swiss-tek or Hartford Finishing [image: image.thumb.jpeg.eee68af3d352c361a43940bba2f8e387.jpeg]

I like the idea of the 4 post on an angle.  I'll just have to take a sedative every time I go into the area with it not being square to anything, lol.  Where you put the pallet racking makes sense, however I wanted to keep that wall relatively clear for a future overhead door.....although it wouldn't be and end of world scenario if that ever happened. Thank you!

REKIII said: I've succumb to the fact that I'm an old man.  I get it, but I try.  I look to you young pups to help me out. I want to edit some videos, cut, insert other videos/pics, etc.  Real simple.  I made the few vids I want to play with in portrait mode (yeah, boomer, I get it).  I down loaded Blender (free and powerful).  Holy shit, way too complicated.  It took 2 hours of video tutorial just to figure out how to make the video portrait on the editor, and it wasn't even a true fix, just a work around.  So, I need something a lot simpler to goof around with.  Preferably on PC, not mobile and definitely not Mac/Apple. Any advice? Your problem with this is that Blender is a 3D animation program more so than a video editor. Kind of like using After Effects to cut and space a video. I agree with @suspenceful, Premier is a good program for advanced and basic editing, but it does cost money. If you are only looking to edit a couple videos, I think you can do a trial of the creative suite. Or, I think it's only like 10 bucks a month and you can get access to the creative suite and then just cancel when you are done. It will also allow you to export at the resolution you want. You won't need two hour video tutorials on how to use it, but you might want to search for videos specific to what you are having issues with. Edit: https://www.adobe.com/products/premiere.html?promoid=19SCDPSM&mv=other You can trial for 7 days for free and then it's $20 a month.

The Full Banana said: Long week and needed a mindless break. Just for fun.  [image: image.png] This is much better than the old logo, although I think its still not 100%. I liked the added scale of the 2 before, not sure it that will help with this new revision or not without messing with it. Another thing I noticed on the site is you were switching between serif and sans serif fonts. I also agree with the white space rule.

SteelBlue said: Matt has been openly critical of the LA charging network(probably their biggest market) for some time now. Yup, which just blows my mind as you'd think California's major cities would be the first place for a real charging network.

straight6pwr said: i stopped at one of the Fedex airport facilities on the way home and asked questions for you 414-294-5990 is the direct phone number for the ramp, which is where freight deliveries are held. I didnt get the exact address of which of their many buildings by the airport it was, but its one of them. Anyways, yes, they will load skids onto customer vehicles with a forklift, or if the vehicle is the right height, you can pull up to the dock for direct loading.  She made it a point to say to make sure the vehicle is big enough/has enough clearance. they don't like to muck about if its a tight fit and will most likely will not try to load it if thats the case. Thank you!  I knew I should have looked at this thread before I called. I got similar info, including the warning on size.   The crappy part ended up being that the thing I'm getting is from overseas, so what the $500 covers is also all the import paperwork/duties/tariffs etc.  If I walked into the fedex place, I'd have to act as my own importer or hire one.  So...the $500 to my door becomes a much better deal. That all being said I'm really glad I even know this is an option now, and I appreciate the help.  This could help out with domestic stuff a lot.

So.....anyone know the guy?  Pretty local to me.  Still a neat project.

SteelBlue said: Was just watching old Top Gear and it reminded me of this thread. Lotus, Lot's Of Trouble, Usually Serious. Pretty much.  But so much fun KaiserRolls said: Cup holder install next?  Actually.....yes, I have a trick little aluminum one with a leather strap that slides under the dash.  I have to see if I can make it work with the new gauge/switch pod thing.

rampelsauce said: Just rhino line the entire thing. Durable, easy to clean, super functional. I have considered that on the truck...... Jeep is wife-mobile, she won't like that.

andyhundley said: 99% of the cars there are glorified winter beaters so it doesnt matter if they see snow or not.

I cant help much with location, but I can suggest you start a list and work your way down till you find the closest option? Big bear (Oconomowoc) Offsets Garage (might?) JR @ Midcoast (West Allis) International Auto (West Allis) Bobby @ Apex Auto (Madison) Sikandar Govani @ HI-Performance Fabrication & Tuning (also know as national muffler and brake) (Milwaukee)

Earl said: Your aunt must really love that Cabrio to save it from succumbing to Winter Yeah, not really sure what her deal is with it.  Has a lot of rust, she's always been a volkswagen fan.  I just hope I don;t have it much longer than this winter.

The guy is pretty funny, he had several items for sale and all had her holding them in goofy poses.  She's got a sense of humor at least.  She'll be laughing as she freezes your village.

Jdesign said: How much would something like that cost to cut? For 1, appx $25.00  For more, the price/part goes down drastically.

Earl said: I've been meaning to switch but I will have to continue paying for photobucket, as the pictures in my threads will all die if I don't=/ That's why it's the time to change for me.  I had to pull my pics becasue of the M5 board debacle.  If I'm going to reprogram all my pics, I may as well change hosts too.\ I will check out flickr.  Thanks!!

Thanks guys, Madison would be a hike, but not ridiculous.  I'll call these 2 guys. Thanks!!

Dang, it's too bad your friends D couldn't get nut blasted.
