Update

Fixed several problems the shop didn't do right. Repaired the drivers seat back by replacing it witn another seat back from the parts car. They left the passenger power window plug undone, but windows still don't work even after that...so power windows are inoperative. The door panel has to be re-gl...

Re: Another new member

Tell the truth please. Somebody planted a cabby seed and it grew there right??? Is anybody else besides me amazed how the metal is holding up on these cars? Yes I've seen some with rust, but besides the windshield area, have seen many more that have no rust. Is the wolfsburg edition sticker on the f...

Re: 1991 Etienne Aigner - solid but needs some TLC

If the switch isn't working, you can't make it worse by opening it. Its a simple momentary contact switch.
I like his idea too.. open the broken one and check it out/clean it. Can test the results with a meter.

Re: Triple stable of cabby's

I know of a 91 Etienne automatic in georgia, listed for $700. The guy bought it with visions of driving an expensive german car....until it quit running because of a bad fuel pump. He says its sitting on a trailer and his wife told him to get rid of it. Probably could get it for $500. He never sent ...

Triple stable of cabby's

Those on another board may recognize my id, but for those who don't, I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana. I used to dabble in the air cooled cars years ago, but have recently gotten into the cabriolet scene. I bought a 92 Carat to fix up for a young driver. The engine was locked up when I bought it.
