since I’m moving I need a new car (at least 30 years old). so far I didn’t care about the distance but now I have to drive 80 km every day. so: who is least busy, what are your experiences?

Hello together, I’m new here and hope someone can help me. I have an Apal L buggy and would have to go to the tank installed in the front, because I suspect that the seal of the tanker is leaking. The car smells of gasoline, but it doesn’t come out of the overflow. Unfortunately, the hood under which the tank sits is firmly installed. The edges to the fenders to and from the fornt window, are apparently glued with Sikaflex. Whether this hood is underclamped in the area of the windshield I don’t want to have to dismantle the windshield. If someone knows how best to get this hood off, I would be very grateful for the help. Thank you in advance! Greetings Thomas

Hello from Dresden ! Have a quite big problem ! Have built me a Moskvich 412 from 1977 ! I presented it yesterday for full acceptance incl. H license plate review ! Result : Everything in order and suitable, except that the coach has a different chassis number ! I was told when buying this would be no problem ! Well ! Nice crap, a pile of work and money beat up ! Well, was today at the registration office and they told me , I needed a proof for this ! by some previous owner ! The car had 2 previous owners in Berlin, but I can’t find them (dead, moved etc.) ! Now my question : What now ?? What can I do now to let the car still be called Oldi ? Would be great , if someone could give me a tip ! MfG Starpeople44

Hello municipality, Now, so shortly after Easter I would like to ask here a question of faith. My darling is first registration ́72, was until ́02 first hand vehicle, and then was acquired by me about a year ago. The car was always groped and to my knowledge never had to sleep (perhaps as a very young rare time) outdoors. It is in a very well maintained original condition, also the first coat is still fine, for its double full age definitely, but I know cars, which And now my problem: in March 1980 the first owner had a glass roof retrofitted. The work is neat, and the roof is dense. However, I am an originality freak, that’s why the glass roof bothers me. However, a rearrangement would result in a repainting (of course in the original color) and that would be, in addition to the money question, a pity for the paint. So, now I have my crush. What would you do? I am looking forward to your views Greetings and a beautiful, finally sunny, weekend Elcoupe, who hopes that now also the residual salt will disappear from the streets.

Hello, I’m offered a cheaper Mercedes 250 SE from 1966. Oil consumption is 0.5 liters per 1000 km. Condition is VERY good according to the age. Consumption according to the seller is 11 liters per 100 km. Can one still move such a vehicle in everyday life (but not winter with snow) or is that too risky. It must be very reliable. What do you think about it? MfG Lucas Jensen

Hello, even if I don’t have a classic car, I think that my concern is most likely to be here. At the moment I change the outside sleepers of my passat and use the welding device of an acquaintance. Slowly the desire to own a MAG welding machine matures in me. Since I will not use it often now, it should be quite inexpensive. I would like something portable, since now I don’t have my own garage. I just want to have thin body plates every now and then. For thicker things I can also use a welding transformer. Now I have looked here and there in DIY stores and at Conrad and have come across devices of the company Einhell. When searching the Internet I have heard very controversial opinions. Now I am very unsure. Can anyone say anything about this? I also found a device from Metabo (MIG/MAG 140): Setting range (230 V): 30 – 140 A Control: 4 levels Weldable wire: 0.6 – 0.8 mm Weldable materia lstärke: 0.5 – 3 mm Max. turn-on time at 25 °C: 7 % Max. turn-on time at 40 °C: 4 % Weight: 26 kg What do you think of this? Would that be something for me as a hobby user? Do you know that? Thank you in advance.

Hello, I want to allow a vintage car, but I am only 21. I have already read through several pages of insurers who also had interesting offers, but unfortunately I am discriminated against everywhere because of my age, all the vintage car insurances I have found seem to want to insure only drivers from 25. Really sad that such a thing is allowed. Does someone know a vintage car insurance that would insure me?

Hello I suddenly have a moisture problem with my old R 5. From time to time the car is standing outside overnight. – Now, after which the car was once outside in strong cold also overnight, the windshield was from inside clapping wet .. It had not even given it that way before I had only found out before that there is some moisture in the car because I had a notebook in the car for a few days and at some point the sides were quite wavy . What can the plö be useful ??? What best to do ???

Hello, my dad is going to retire soon and wants to buy another oldie. This one should be: http://suchen.mobile.de/…/183060207.html?… Unfortunately, I find on the net not so much specific to the R107 and if, I get with the model changes and so on not quite clear. What do you think of the linked car? What is special about the year of construction? How good is the 350 engine? Does someone know the company that sells the car? Which wheels are original on it? Is there in B ezug on AMG package all original? In the first conversation the following information was given: – KM not comprehensible, approx.100000 estimated, – Hostorie with gaps – vehicle was sometimes green – two coin-sized rust spots – seats sat through – stand 15 years in barn – all around good maintained condition – new roof Thank you very much 🙂

Hello friends, in advance: I already have a KG Type14 convertible as well as a 30-year-old Golf GTI and two old-timer bikes (DKW RT 175), so I am seriously interested in real mobile cultural property. Therefore, for some time now I have been concerned with the question: If I want my youngest daughter to drive a (30-year-old) old-timer in 2030: Which car of the year 2000 should I buy today and put 17 years “on hold”? Does something speak against an Audi TT roadster? I think this r “should hold” (electronics) and will shortly reach its price bottom, as well as later get lovers potential. (?) Or do you have other (automobile) tips? Which oldtimer should I recommend to my oldest daughter, she drives from 2017 herself, so here it would have to be a car of the year 1987. What is the (future) top-oldtimer recommendation from the year 87? Purchase price ceiling of both objects today: 8000 €
