Rockers in and primed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Pretty much finished up the last two bondo spots on the body. ALMOST ready to wet sand and shoot this boat. Still have the holes in the inner wheel wells to repair ( sometime this week ) and a few spots on the rear.



Where's my split ?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Yup, but that is going to be later as I need time to go down and drill out days worth of spot welds so I am told.

Aw yeah! BTW, there is supposed to be a triangular piece in place of the wall that was removed. Exciting stuff, glad you got some work done on the scooter.

Indeed there is . . . and it is an excellent place to mount a bottle opener.

For most of these stiffs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I am alone tonight as the woman has gone to CA to start the countdown to the wedding on Sat. I am one martini in and looking for the bed.

Mike I saw no need for that piece to be there. It really wouldn't provide any bracing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) If you want I could make something up pretty easily though. Let me know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

I dunno, the piece VW put in there is pretty damn thick. 3/16 maybe. I could see that gusset distributing stresses in that sharp corner better when the whole bus twists along its length (ehh, maybe in a turn with a lot of stuff in it), you were carrying stuff on your roof (not likely with that camper top), or if the side of your bus was greeted with something non-forgiving (hmmm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ).

Personally I wouldn't second guess VW on it.

Me neither. Plus, it is a good place for a bottle opener.

About 175mm tall, 55mm across the base, 2.3mm thk (okay, so 3/16" was an exaggeration), and a 10mm wide lip folded 90 degress over on the hypotenuse towards the front of the car.

Let me know if you need some pics

Update on my end:

Engine - the shop would have been done with the engine this week except for one unforeseen problem that was of my creation. The valve springs were too big for their seats and keepers and this led me to think I had the wrong springs.....nope (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The special heads that I got and that were advertised as 110 heads were in fact 80-90hp low compression heads. I thought this was gonna be a problem, but I had them CC one of the pockets and at 46cc it is within my limits as I need 60-64cc in the chamber when done for a 9:1-9.4:1 CR. I also found that the guy with the corvair aviation site used the same heads with good results. All that needs to be done to the heads now is to have the valve seats opened up for the bigger springs. More waiting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Carb - I am awaiting some pieces on my carb still, but I am about done with its rebuild today and it is looking good. I really enjoyed rebuilding it and saved a bunch of cash.

Tranny - all I have left to do on the tranny is to clean out and reseal the diff. I did the auto part very easily and saved another grip of money. This is the first auto I have rebuilt and I must say it was very easy and like the carb it was very enjoyable. The rebuild kit was like $150 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Next I need to get the damn engine parts so I can clean them up and start the assembly process. This will likely take me into Dec as I am going to be in York for the month of Nov. If you get hurt in York in Nov, look me up in the ED at the hospital (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
