This is mostly for myself, but anyone who has stuff lying around or is going to PYP is more than welcome to chime in (this is for my newly acquired 1988 740 turbo wagon);

Drivers side park light, do these come in white? I hate orange stuff.
Front Calipers
Recirculation valve
Discs
Pads
Tow hook/ball/thingie in the back (need to able to tow a trailer)

----

Im going to paint it, it has some rust spots and has clear coat fading, what colour?

I'd say Brad for the pads, discs and calipers, if you want good quality stuff at a reasonable price. There are 2 or 3 7 series cars at pyp right now so you might be able to find some stuff...

Brad is away for a couple of weeks though...

Auto value for pads (i get parts at cost there)

Ebay for discs

PYP for Calipers



I'm painting the car white, clear corners, clear tails, painting the calipers white, the wheels white...

It'll be called... You got it: Barry White (deep bassy voice, and uhm... the colour white is his last name, not his skin colour)

Ok... maybe I don't want to name the car Barry...

nice raz, good choice on the color, i've been told that darker colors like black are hard to get right, while white and other light colors are a lot easier because they dont show the imperfections as much. Plus i find it takes hours of work to buff/wax the black to make it look good.

I've always wanted to do a white car with clear tails and sidemarkers etc. and a light tint job. it'll look awesome when your done.


btw i tried calling you back just now(my phone died when you called and wouldnt let me pick up) but it keeps saying customer is away from the phone or out of the service area.

If you want a set of jumbo non-salted calipers, I might be grabbing a set at the PYP (not in calgary, but named PYP).
Might not be cost effective to ship them though.
