    Oil Based Paint as fuel?

    I think the best way to do it would be to put it thruogh a thinner recycler ( distiller ) . I think the end result would not be worth it since you would not get enough solvents to justify the process .

    How hard to title an a3?

    Thier is no reason the seller should not have a title or be able to get a title , unless he did something stupid like buy it witout a title . I would not buy it without a title unless you intend on parting it out .

    So who outbid me? (eBay, 11/9/2010)

    I like the way he claims they are sandblasted , he posts a gobs of pics and yet no pics of them being sandblasted . By the good high qaulity pics that he posted you can clearly see that old paint has been painted over . It also seems to me that the tires are painted the same flat black as the...
