| Pushed the truck into my mother in law's yard after the clutch wouldn't disengage. Exact opposite of the problem I just fixed. I am getting so tired of this.

| I took my doors apart on the waterbug and lubed everything up. I installed new felts and scrapers. While the doors were gutted I put sound deadener on all the bare metal. You would not believe how solid the doors sound when closing them. The widows roll up and down easier now. The door latch works easier as well. |

| Swapped carb set up on the 73 westy, went with a progressive, much better that the dual dells! Also pulled my oil pump since it was leaking, replaced the seal, leaked worse, pulled it off again and doubled the seal and used aircraft sealant. Next round pissed out 4 quarts in less than 60 seconds... Pulled again and then noticed the oil pump housing was cracked..... Was getting worse with each round of tourqe. So looking for a housing for i. Got the beam in on the 67, a few adjustments and waiting on parts from stockornot to get it rolling. Oh yeah, cleanned the garage up and put away all of my tools, it amazes me that for every 8 hours working on the v-dubs I end up with 16 hours of cleanning?????

| dude, progressives are awsome when set up right. I have a progressive on my turbo bug, and it works excellent. i get 35 mpg when driving normally (1/2 throttle), and like 20 when i stomp on it (Full throttle). Great gas mileage when i want, Shit loads of power when i want  . Perhaps stockurnaut can properly tune a progressive. From what everyone says, they can do pretty much anything VW related.  Maybe i need to let you take the turbo bug out for a spin, maybe then you'll come over to the progressive side
