Re: [VintageLambo] Part Manuals

Chris, Hi, this is Charlie Seymour from NH and, being an applied mathematician, thought I could help with the "how much to spend" question.The formula I seem to be using over the years is: S = (A + 6*M), Where S is the amount you plan on spending, A is what you can afford and M is your monthly home mortgage. My history also suggests a relationship between what you plan on spending and what you actually spend.Current model is: D = S*(Z/3 + K) Where D is actual spending, S is from above, Z is the "coastal proximity" index of your mechanic and K is the number of college age kids he/she has. Hope this helps :-) Charlie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Holl" To: Sent: Sunday, December 22, 2002 10:43 AM Subject: Re: [VintageLambo] Part Manuals > Hi Jack, > > I may be able to contribute some time at the flatbed, but if not I"ll make > some copies and send them to Fred too. > > Sadly, www.lambomiura.com is up to date.:-(I"m taking time off during > the holiday season and plan to spend a lot of it finishing the Urraco so I > can put it up for sale.(Still thinking fly yellow.) > > I expect to give Bobileff a significant infusion in January so he can drag > the Miura out of the corner, dust it off, and continue some work while the > Urraco sells.I"d love to take the Miura to Monterey in August, but we"ll > see. > > I haven"t done any of the SV rear suspension conversion work that was > discussed a few months back, but I did buy the Espada lower control arms. > I"ve been debating all the pros and cons, and still think that I will do the > conversion.It"s clear that such "improvements" in the car could greatly > add to the restoration cost.For example, do I bore out the intake runners, > port the heads, and put an S grind on the cams?(That is the only > difference between the stock engines.)Split sump?(Yes!)Deep oil pan? > Extra chassis work ala SV?Interior?Vented rotors?CV joints?Where to > stop?I suppose as much as I can afford.:-) > > Chris > > > >From: Jack Riddell > >Reply-To: VintageLambo@yahoogroups.com > >To: VintageLambo@yahoogroups.com > >Subject: Re: [VintageLambo] Part Manuals > >Date: Sat, 21 Dec 2002 15:23:31 -0800 > > > >Hi Chris, > > > >I think we are talking about the same book.
