On the docket are a list of tasks I feel guilty for asking because they're the worst jobs ever. It looks like the gang can be here from 10-2/3pm in likely rainy conditions, but hopefully it won't be too wet. I do have a garage but it's cramped.
Wish list: 1. I need to weld in a clutch tube patch. I can do that just fine, but cannot wiggle the stainless fuel lines in or out on my own because I can't lift out the fuel tank. I also want to throw on some weld beads on the right side of the body. I have a small MiG welder and that's easy for me to do. Just don't want to weld around fuel lines. 2. Get the engine tins, alternator, brackets, etc mounted on the engine and hoist it and the gearbox into place. The engine is assembled but otherwise bare. 3. Axles need to go back in, but I can probably do that. 4. If I'm asking for pie in the sky swapping out the master brake cylinder would be nice. I think we have six of us including me, so perhaps we can pair up and choose or rotate tasks as needed. Predictable time wasters are finding that I'm missing fasteners, but I kept everything in a large box so we should be okay. If not, I'll make due. All in all, way to much to do in such a short time but I'll bet we can make good progress for the heaviest stuff. I'm also having a tool give away because I need to move and therefore need to ditch some shop stuff: a large hydraulic press (needs to be cleaned up and lubed, but it is a Snap-On), an engine dolly, this and that. Free for taking. I'm sure there will be other stuff if anyone wants it. Maybe a Beetle project. Nobody mentioned snacks or drinks, so I'll just get basic stuff for munches and gulps. |

It was a great work day! Even though all I did was sit around and fetch tools. We made excellent progress and I met some cool gentlemen.
Huge thanks to Mark, Scott, Cary, and Super-in-Law Jack! I'm going to refresh this thread because we'll need one more day to get things finished up. I think Cary is trying to round up a couple of parts and then we can proceed. I'll snort around for parts also. Hooray! |

Cary has the short list and part numbers.. Last I saw we were looking for two small bits: the u-shaped clip that connects the right side cooling flap with the rod, and a 45.5mm clip that holds the alernator seal into place. Mark from 914rubber has more info. I checked the local air cooled shop and they didn't have anything.

Marcus, I'm not sure which alt. part your describing. If you see it in this pic it's yours. LMK, Kent. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Good Question. Mark knows for sure. I'll ask him to chime in here to verify.
