This is so KOOL, only cause it's me.

Drove from the garage to my back door and back to the garage. But I drove her.



I would like to put a big circle of concrete out there behind where Carerror is.


What size are your 5 bolt empi? Rims. Source?
Thanks


Those are Passports, 8 x 16.

Alright, I technically did this yesterday... but took the picture today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Finished painting the body and I am really happy with the results. One step closer to getting on the road.

Would it work to tilt the radiator forwards to get a more space efficient packaging?

Can't sit in the engine bay of any new vehicles these days. I remember sitting in the engine bay of my '59 Ford PU truck, with room for someone else on the other side (and that was with a 360 V8 and headers in there).


Yesterday I sorted and moved more [912 & 914] parts into the storage shed. Then later in the evening on my way home from a shopping errand, the Vanagon ('Eileen') died on me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Starter wont turn her motor over, but it isn't the battery, and the starter is only a year old. I suspect something much worse. Had AAA tow her to a friend's VW shop in Manhattan Beach, so I'll be heading down there in a couple of hours to discuss the problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Pull the wheels out of the boxes that I’ve been saving for decades. Time to mount.

Update:

Preliminary evaluation at Automeister this morning - motor only rotates 180°, so it looks like maybe she sucked a valve (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ... won't know until the valve covers are pulled. They're pretty backed up, so we won't know much more until they can get her on the lift ... in about 3-weeks.

She has a minor coolant and oil leak from the passenger side head too, so that will be taken care of no matter what else needs to be done. IF she needs extensive work, she'll be going to 2.1L (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Nice looking. Can't tell from your pic; is the weight of the radiator supported beneath or by those 4 bolts from the frame to the fan shroud attach points? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

That was considered and yes it would. Putting AC in the car so need room for condenser and dryer still so decided vertical. Fabrication of mounting system/servicing all influenced my decision.

Thanks. The radiator rests into two rubber grommets that support the weight of the radiator from below and provide vibration dampening. Similar to an OEM set up on newer cars. In addition there are the four bolts you noted above (also with grommets) holding it in its upright position to the frame. Pretty stout setup. I will be adding a AC condenser to the frame similarly but no bottom anchor next and finish shrouding.

Yes, I can see the grommets since you pointed out. You'll love the AC. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I finished refurbing my calipers including painting them. I also received the cable bracket from mcmark so that's been painted and now ready to fit.

The windscreen wiper mechanism was stripped cleaned and regreased before being reassembled and refitted. Works great now.

Finally I stripped and cleaned one driveshaft ready to be fitted, getting oh so close to driving it for the first time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Got some more goodies for the 1.8, didn't really "need" it but great price and the current setup has been sitting unused for 5 years.
