Canada went metric starting in 1970 so doubtful there is one way up nort dare eh.

Sorry but I put this item in the wrong Forum category.

I have a friend in Pennsylvania looking for a 0 - 200 KPH speedometer lens for 1962 Ford Galaxie. Thought I would ask here since many of you all live where KM is a way of life.

Great comments. I feel so confident now.

Now that I understand zimmerframes I may make a list of other terms I should become familiar with. Facelift for one.

Ha! Yep, I'm learning a whole new language here.

Yes, we could indeed get together but there are a few miles to cover to accomplish that.

I am really enjoying learning about this car and its complexities.

Zimmerframes? One of those BMW terms?

Been on here just a short time because my daughter bought a 1990 325i Cabriolet and I am storing it for the winter and getting it up to snuff for summer driving and shows. Being a Ford guy all my life the learning curve to BMW has me learning a whole new language of official and non-official terms. ...

Great write-up. First I need to get one as my daughter's car didn't have one in it. I had to ask on the FB page what that connector in the glove box was for. I found some on Ebay so will try to get a good one. Looks like the white one is correct for 1990 325i Cabrio.

Thanks Ben. That is where it is.

We will have the seat out replacing the leather. Doing the fronts first then get the rear done.

"Fiddly".... good word. I'm learning a whole new vocabulary on this site.

Thanks for your comments on the car. Not too worried about the funds it will take to get her all fixed up. It really has very few problems that I have found. Needs new oil pressure switch and brake pad wear sensors and I found both of those locally. The leather seats are the biggest issue that we wi...

For those interested, she paid $1000 USD. My research indicates that she dang near stole it. Agree? or not?

Last year my daughter picked up a very nice 1990 325i Cabriolet. For the winter it is stored in my extra garage. It needs a few things that I have been working on but in researching the car I find that the E30 is a much sought after BMW model. Being a life long Ford guy I wonder why. I know little a...

I notice lots of rust on the cars in Britain. Is that due to salt air? It is expected here in the northern United States due to the use of salt on the roads to melt snow and ice but I am a little surprised at so much over there. Just curious. My daughter's 1990 325i Cabrio has very little rust and i...

Hmmm, I just noticed something. My daughter's car doesn't have those reflectors that are just aft of the front wheels. Is that a Euro thing?

For my daughters 1990 325i Cabrio we are replacing the leather then using this product to maintain it. We will do the leather replacement ourselves. http://www.leatherique.com/do_it_your_self_instruction/rejuvinator_pc_directions.html The front and rear seats are in very bad condition and seams ripp...

She a beauty!!

'71 Dart....nice.

The Galaxie photo posted there.

I started a registry of '62 Galaxies years ago. It now contains several in Europe. www.62ford.com/registry. If the link doesn't work, just cut and paste it.

1962 Ford Galaxie 500/XL
Powered by 390 cu. in. V8, 4 bbl carb, automatic trans.
Being a purist, everything is restored/kept as original as possible.

Eddie, so as not to break the rules I will post a photo of the Galaxie on the Other Marques page.

Lift the hood (I guess you call it a bonnet) on some dark, damp night and have someone try to start the car while you watch the plug wires and distributor. I'll wager you see sparks jumping around. That will tell you what the problem(s) is/are.

Thank you willnz. Yes, the prior owner did not treat her well. It drives and runs great, just needs serious cleaning up and some tweaking in addition to replacing the soft trim interior. The body is solid with only minor surface rust underneath. Gonna be fun giving her a makeover.
