  1. 4xchamp Thanks for your post and the photos. Very helpful i did some more investigation and looks like others have done well with the 3M Urethane Seam Sealer 08367 on the countach. Guess I will order some. Came across these sites: http://lp5000.blogspot.com/2013/12/urethan...tach-seams.html It also looks like some have used 3m Auto Glass Urethane Windshield Adhesive black (3M-08693) https://www.another board/vbforum/f1...ndations-26362/ https://www.autobodytoolmart.com/3m-auto-gl...ve-p-15923.aspx Thinking the Glass Urethane Windshield Adhesive would be best to use to glue the window frames around the car to the glass and glass to the body when doing restoration work ? Another alternative to the 3M Urethane seam sealant, that some have used in past is Sikaflex 221 polyurethane sealant black. https://www.emisupply.com/catalog/sikaflex2...wE#.W3iZoc5Kjcc btw pretty rare seeing a countach around these days.....even more one in black matte finish Dave
  2. I recall a few years back the on-going debate between using black silicone (matte finish) vs a seam sealer (urethane, etc...) Has anyone had success using the 3M Urethane Seam Sealant on the Countach body panels? https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-...2000&rt=rud Wondering if this can be used around the taillights? For re-glueing the Front Turnsignal Housing lenses and frames or rear quarter window glass and frames.... thinking this Polyurethane Glass Sealant would work? https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-...4273&rt=rud Curious what factory used and what those who've had restorations done used. Look forward to hearing about it. Thanks in advance Dave
  3. Yes, that is a Replica V8. Those are genuine 17" replica wheels.... I believe custom 1-offs made in England. Link to youtube video of car:
  4. Thanks Kidzvillage That would be great if you could do that. It looks to be a very good option for myself and others looking to keep their OEM gear shift knobs for shows, nostalgia, etc... and have a spare-reproduction one for normal driving, etc.... Please keep us posted. Thanks again Dave
  5. With the current age of the Countach approaching almost 4 decades, the countach shift knob is one of those items no longer available from Lamborghini. Well they do offer a replacement knob, but it looks nothing like the original. More like an Alfa Romeo/Lancia vintage 1970's Gear shift knob. I came across this company online that replicated the original Countach knob. Reproduction Countach Shift Knob Curious if fellow members have ordered one from them? Reached out to them, but no response. Looks to be pretty spot on. Would love to have a spare, but it's looking like I will have to have mine re-upholstered instead. Dave
  6. So cool. Hands down the most influential guitarist since Jimi Hendrix.
  7. Blast from the past.... Eddie Van Halen confirms that the exhaust sound he recorded on Panama was of his Lamborghini..... not a Countach but his beloved 1972 Miura S (which he still owns today). confirmed here at 32.30minute mark during his recent Smithsonian Interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXoHyiJUItQ Hope this ends the 30yrs of speculation ; )

  9. You are probably right as it seems they changed slightly from LP400 to LP400S/LP500S. I'm hoping someone with an LP400S/LP500S with euro fenders can take some quick measurements of the location or whole size or quick template. Heck, someone with a spare Euro Fender can also easily do this ; 0 D
  10. These guys still have some original shift knobs. Pricey, but original. Ask for Glen Huffman http://www.exoticwholesaleparts.com/partview.php?id=6
  11. Where did you get the replacement one from? These guys? http://www.eurospares.co.uk/searchResult_o...=1&TB=38054
  12. I know there have been a few of you that have updated your US based look to the Euro look and got rid of the ugly US day time running lights/reflectors on one of your Countaches in the past. I was contemplating going the same route but instead of buying (NEW) Euro Fenders, I wanted to KEEP my stock US fenders and have the holes for the US Fender Reflectors properly filled over with aluminum. (the dilemma) The euro fender turn signal is not in the same location as the US fender light and the US Fender light has a bigger hole with a screw hole to the left and screw hole to the right of the big hole vs the Euro Fender Turn Signal hole that is smaller and has a little slot to the 6'oclock position. Can someone that is in Body/Paint Stage and has Euro Fenders OR someone that has a spare Euro Fender make me a template or take some quick measurements of the location and size of the hole for the Euro Fender Turn Signal/marker? I just hate the look of the US bumpers and these silly US Fender Lights and Rear Quarter Panel lights and would like to remove them all while doing the body work. Thanks Dave M
  13. Thanks BlownDaytona. That proves it that there was a design change to a 1pc from 2pc design at some point. I've only seen one more other Countach with seamless 1/4 window frames. Very interesting. Thanks David
  14. i just barfed Apparently they made a model/kit of this Zastrow RSO Countach LP500s
  15. Thanks BlownDaytona Would you happen to have a pic of your rear 1/4 window frames that you could send me or post? I know that according to the original Parts Diagrams/Illustrations it does look like the rear 1/4 window frames were 1pc with No cuts/seams and the Frames for the Front Turn Signal Housing Covers/Glass showed a 2pc design..... but others have said/seen the rear 1/4 window frames come with all 4 corners cut.
