That's just beautiful.

Thanks peregrine.

Founds some Pennys on the ground today. One more step closer to get my bay. At this rate. I should have my Bay this time next year.........!

took her for a test drive. still got a few more things to iron out before I reinstall the interior. Rear brakes smoking and idle doing some funky things.

Got my door panel back on from when I replaced the window regulator. Made a new inner door liner from a 2mil plastic bag I had...

put the crankshaft together on a 2110 and then sent it off to the machine shop to be balanced

Changed out the Suspension with Kale's "goldmember".
I now have the Ebauch 2" lowered set up on there.
Looks good - rides smoother than the Racelands that were on it.
Got a couple of shots of our two cars together, it was nice to see another Wagon!
Will post the shots when I get them out of the phone...
Ordering the odd ball BBS CH-028 tommorow.
That thing has been a pain to find, and it is gonna be expensive...
BUT at least the set will then be complete, and worth more than the 3 individuals I have now...

Installed my rebuilt distributor in the SP2.

That's the plan I had too.

It worked good. Just leave the bottom a little long to tuck in the bottom of the door. If you need some plastic, I have enough left from that bag to make a couple more.....

Delivered 2 sets of rims while in the process of picking this jewel up today. Thanks to fellow Ga Dubbers Eric, Bryce and Curt for your help.

Heard some pretty loud clunking sounds on decelerating here lately so I jacked the car up took the hubcaps off and I could move the axle nut with my hand must enough. Since I don't have a tool that big ill have to wait til Monday to get it back together since I work all day Sunday.

I'm very surprised the drum wasn't spun. I hope this solves the problem

Sweet, was that the Bay on Craigslist in Stone Mountain? I almost grabbed it myself.

drove the bus every day this week its doing awsome an i pulled the seats out of the cabrio to let kip rub on them an make them purdy

Put the new sunvizors on the bug at work.

Got a new blue bosch coil, plugs, wires, and a petronix for the bus...
Merry Christmas to me!

I stopped for gas in the square on the way to Macon to pick up some parts from bugeyed. I noticed the fuel line to the left carb was loose (gas smell and small puddle under the car). Kicked myself for leaving my tools at home. Stopped at Lowes across the street, bought an .88 cent screwdriver, and rectified the problem. The rest of the 100 mile trip was uneventful.

Then drove the bus to work.

Put the distributor in the SP2 and got it timed. Now to tackle the carb tuning...

droped the seats at loves an went to bug eyeed then came home an me an mikey removed a body from his car

so today at work some guy comes up to me and says he accidentally backed up into my car. we go outside, and check on the damage. he was driving an old suburban, and the hitch on his truck hit the decklid, and pushed it in to the apron, and pushed the apron into the exhaust. not a whole lot of damage, the apron and decklid were the only casualties. the exhaust is fine, didn't hurt it at all. i think my new engine compartment seal got cut tho. and the tin looks like it got tweaked a tad, as my fresh air hose came off the fanshroud. now i gotta deal with the insurance companies. fun stuff there

what realy got me was how honest the guy was. he was real cool about it too, even after the cop left. he could have hit me and drove off, and i would have never known till i got off work 4 hours later. it was refreshing to see someone so honest .

finally ordered new headlights for the gti

been riding around with a busted one for almost a month

Gave Jolene her first bath since CYW. Going to go play with kristi's new camera and get some up to date pics now

got new pistons & cylinders on - bobby hooked up my heads- got those on as well-
waiting for paint to dry on my tins - hoping to be back on the road soon!

Spent the day at Pull-a-Part. Grabbed some seatbelts for Judy.

was hopng to have the engine together today
