Pending cash I would like a sound system & flip down DVD system . |

Fuel regulator is all I have planned right now. I am hoping that this will cure my high boost lean situation that I am having.

Finish installing the interior on the 71 westy.
Find air cleaners to fit my 71 bug kadrons.
Prep, paint, and install rear bumper splash guards and a pedal pan on the 70 bus.

I have a set of original kadron air cleaners, not in the best of shape and the elements themselves probably need replacing, but I'll let them go for the cost of shipping if you want them. |

I just bought a "tach snake mount". I will need help installing the tach. I need to get my carb rebuilt. I am looking into a nice carpet kit with rubber floor mats (OE style). Dreaming about cruising it again on a daily basis (hopefully!)... Putting the newest sticker on it: "If speed kills I'll live forever"  |

Currently insulating the garage, so I will be warm and toasty while building my next toy, the sandrail in a box!  I am also going to install some foam on the doghouse oil cooler, and install a pair of CARBON FIBER exhaust heat shields, on Blu, probably closer to spring for that though. |
