I like the urban cammo look.

Finally got a working horn in O'Bugga again. Lost the last one when I hit a bridge gap pretty hard.....

Replaced the starter in my Squareback

Got tag 4 the bus that make 9 tagged and insured.

When serching the web for some inspiration for adding switches or gauges, I was feeling dissapointed.....until I found this!

That is next level stuff, right there.

Worked on wiring in trunk, cleaned/painted/replaced back brake lines and hoses over swing arms, painted and worked on Dellortos then stared at everything left to do.

Finally brought the Black Friday bus to the "new" house after living here for a year....lol

look what i got in the mail today

Picked up another single four lug deep 5.5" sprint star! I now have full second set to go with the set on O'Bugga. All of the second set are 5.5"s but two are deep lip and two are shallow lip. I really need two 4.5's but they usually dont come up for good prices. I pieced the second set of 5.5's together over the last year. I have less than $140 in the set!

Also started shifting and organizing the garage to get ready for bringing the buggy in. Still need another day of work then I should be close!

I picked up two sets of vent window rain deflectors!

I finally replaced the passenger rear wheel bearing on Java today. It's the same bearing that started locking up on our way back from Cherokee in 2011. Only took me about four years! Went ahead and gave it a bath too while I had it out.

I picked up a drag link for the Sno-Cone Bus at the Coop Show today and installed it this evening. It eliminated a good bit of the play and it is so much nicer to drive now.

Cleaned my carburetor, scrubbed down my engine, adjusted my throttle cable, removed camper upholstery to measure for new fabric, installed camper top latches, and went for a cruise!

Oh! And installed a new headlight switch, now my LED instrument light works properly!

Changed all the fluids in the '69 Ghia.
I was having issues with getting car into 1st when downshifting and wanted new goo in the trans, (oil has like 3K miles on it). Went to push Ghia out of garage (going to adjust valves, when I noticed that the shifter base was loose, both bolts...
I went ahead and changed all the fluids (trans included) since I had the stuff.
Replaced the oring on the 019 Disto as it was leaking like a sieve. New ring was TEDIUS to get in, but doesn't leak.
I adjusted the Kadrons and valves.
It is running great again, just need to get all the old gas ran through it.
It has same gas in it since January, even with the stabil it seems a little stale.
Looking forward to getting Jenny back out on the road.

Look for the pure gas app it's an app for finding non ethanol gas.
Valero has to for 271.9 a gallon for 90 octane. You car will run better.

Another chassis stripped, rusty pans out, and new pans welded in.
