Re: Looking for a Beretta

Depending on your location there's usually a couple on FB marketplace. There's no real years to avoid. Usually a clean example with cosmetic defects is sub 4k.

Re: Here I go Again.... AWD Retto

i plan to get it to tuck as much as i can, but i may have to let it poke out the bottom a bit since it IS an inline 6, albeit a small one. the plan( as of right now) is to buy a decent 99-98 E300TD and DD it till i can source a T56 and have the beretta gutted and caged. i might just go forward with ...

Re: Here I go Again.... AWD Retto

The t56 can be made 4wd by hybridizing a t5 4wd tail housing with the t56 tail housing.

The link I posted is primarily for using a 700r4, but they sell kits that also work with the t56, or so they say.

Re: NC road trip to pick up my pickup

HID's need a clear outer lense and a proper projector to function properly. the Prior owner of my SC300 thought it was a good idea to just JBweld the HID bulbs to the housing. needless to say, i couldnt see anything and it was garbage. i bought new projectors and bulbs and retrofitted them into my f...

Re: this is awesome!

just ask which yard its going to and see if you can purchase the car as "parts only" the vehicle will still have a title, just make sure you can get it so you can have a "reconstructed" title registered.
