Bought parts car at Charlotte Motor Speedway auto flea market. 2.0, with air conditioning, 5 good Fuchs, good windows, dash panel, lights and signal lenses, almost new SS heat exchangers. Body is probably not worth fixing, and I need a lot of parts to go on my existing restoration on my original 73, so I will probably use the new one as a donor. By the way, got mine on a rotisserie today also. Built one similar to AA plans, except didn't use engine stands. I built a pivot from nesting tubing. Have floor panels from RD to put in. Most of hell hole already done, as it wasn't too bad.

took the -6 out for a little excercise. had to u-turn and return home when the shifting went whack-o. Sure enuf, set screw on linkage backed out. So thats it - tightened a set screw. Not to worry tho - a 3.4 build, 915 install, and suspension/brake upgrade loom near. The slight delay resulted in an encounter with a new gt40. red w/ white stripes. The driver possibly sneezed or something, cuz he basically warped out of sight.

Drove the car for the 2nd time today. Only got in 3 miles before carb and electrical issues resurfaced. Had a big family gathering today and did not get a chance to do any debugging.

Got the engine out of the subbie donor, installed DLee's front tow hooks, and started working on the new fuel pump installation. Cleaned the workshop pushed the old subbie outside. Next got to work on the Truck, new brakes, and brake controller. Wife's parents borrowing it for a month long camping trip, need to make sure she is ready for the tow.

Continued outfitting my Westy for a sea kayak trip starting tomorrow. BBQ'd turkey breast in the Weber, tested stovetop espresso maker, filled tupperware with various fixins to fit in the small refer, plumbed grey water drain system, made outrigger for solo loading of kayak on roof rack. Packing, packing, packing. Found nice looking silver button tach and 150 mph speedo at a VW swap meet, met up with other teeners in Tacoma to meet ScottB for lunch and libations - great time. Cleaned Westy windows to crystal clarity - gonna camp in a 360 view spot, mountains, islands, water, etc.

Looked wistfilly at my teener....maybe next week.

.....Glenn over at Pelican absolutely assures me how easy that task is....

So I might drive the car a couple weeks before I attempt. Just to be sure I get some miles on it before it's back up on stands.

Teener's not at home so I got zero done on it.

Spent Saturday getting the yard and patio ready for an open house on Sunday.

Sunday sucked even worse. Open house was from 1:00 - 4:00 pm. 12:55 wife says I gotta run to the store. I got to sit doing absolutely nothing for three hours.

Wife pulls up at 4:01.

Anybody wanna buy a house?

Nice pool

GUD
Came up one CV gasket short of my trans regear....how I ended up with just one new one is beyond me.
New front tires should be in this week.
BAD
Britian & I bled the brakes. After he left, I noticed the front calipers are draging badly........shitfuck.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)
Time for SS pistons & such i'm afraid....suckers are pricey.

2 steps forward & one step back.....that's progress, right?(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Got it Up. Got Down. Got Dirty.

I've driven the teener a few times in the last week or two, but now the season has officially begun : Yesterday, I had it up on jackstands. Last fall when I was paranoid about passing emissions, I used snot in the oil, set the valves waaay loose, and re-installed the smog pump. So yesterday, I remedied those things. Fresh oil, filter, plugs, set valves correctly, yanked the octopus off. One of the air injector ports was stripped long ago (and I lost it at RRC) so I stuck a bolt in there with some high temp RTV. Gave it a few hours to set up, while I cleaned up and made myself presentable. Pulled the targa top off, settled into the seat, and ... nothing. No Start. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

Re-attached one plug wire I forgot, checked all the rest. Checked for wires ripped out by the octopus. Nada. Went out for (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif)

Well......I've seen the entry list and some of those guys are out of my league. Britain will be driving the car also.
If I can get him to quit using the car as a cone sweeper, I think he'll do well. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

The course will be unusual for an AX. A lot of wide guts in 3rd
stuff with practicly no tight stuff/rapid changes in direction.....a challenge in itself. HP & braking is gonna rule.

As for me, I need to pull 2-3 sec outta my ass to be in trophy land....no small chore for this old fart.

I am still waiting to get my Dell 40 back from ACE. They are repairing a small leak around the lead plugs.

So....I decided to go ahead and pull the rockers off for striping and painting. Found some surface rust around one of the jack post (of course), so the POR-15 process is underway.....again.....
