Sometimes it is difficult to get parts for new vehicles too as there is

Finally got around to fixing the TE today,
I read an article recently that suggested that the vast majority of
microdistilled whiskey all comes from one big factory where it is repackaged
for the various other companies.Apparently all you need to do is design a
label, pick out what bottle you want and they'll produce all you need...
Just pretend you have one of the off color interiors and get it painted up.
Frosch is a green on green. There is no way DBAG was going to pump out a bunch
of green consoles and dashes for that r107. The factory color is grey, but
they paint/dye it to match the Tex on the doors. Now that the

I have a repaired (cleaned and 0.202mm Nichrome wire replaced 5/13) '85 300TD
fuel sending unit which I'd let go for considerably less if that's what one of

Note:
For many of my parts needs, the PnP is the only option. And I have to be very
specific about years. A 107 or 116 prior to 1976 will supply many parts at a
reasonable fee.
The fuel pump on Frosch died a few years ago. Indy tried to hack together a
pump system from a newer (available) K jet.
I too am a Calvados fan. I have never encountered any US apple brandy that
is remotely similar or as good.
