73 Karmann Ghia

Here are a few pics of my daily.

When I arrived in Atlanta a little over a year ago I went downtown and purchased a bed and a volkswagen. What more does a man need?



We have been to the lake.


We have been trainspotting.


We have braved the elements.


I got bored of the wheels and the ride height.


Just chillin in the woods last weekend.



Cheers.

About time it is back on the road....jk....are you going to be at sonic a week from saturday?

Good looking Ghia.

You could have skipped the one with the train. I worked at a plant here for over 20 years buiding those railcars.

Yes it is indeed about time. I plan to be down there yes, I have missed a couple of get togethers so need to get back in the loop!

Thanks Joe. Haha, well mighty fine looking railcars they are

How is that motor running?

It's running! It's ok but could be better. It is leaking from the dizzy again, same place as before; out of the pressed-in plate in the body (009). It also looks like it is leaking again from the flywheel seal. Now if the supplier did what he claims he did, and put a quality seal in when he replaced it, as opposed to the cheap one he apparently put in the first time, and I know my input shaft is straight, my conclusion is the seal has melted due to the excessive running temperature of the engine. I know it is running way too hot, I don't know how hot but I have ordered one of those temperature dipsticks from Gene Berg. I hope to have that tomorrow so I am hoping that will give me some idea. Alternator belt is ok, I havn't looked at the timing yet but I guess that will be next. There are some gaps in the cheap Taiwan tinware that doesn't fit together properly but I would be surprised if that is the only reason why it is getting so hot.
