Interesting looking thermostat. What brand is that? Looks different from the ones I have seen.

Got to putting the tins & exhaust on today, but seem to be having a connection problem.......  Other than that, needing some flaps for the shroud, then it'll be completely together!!  |

I'll bring them with me for sure Ray....I got mine "moving" (i use that term loosely lol) but they will NOT turn by hand as of yet. Seems Brian has a good set, so if he cares to part with them I'll go that route, and get mine all cleaned up for spares/another project/another member or what not |

hard lines finally all installed, brakes are bled (awesome pedal now!) and engine to apron seal installed. Thinging maybe of re-bleeding the brakes again if Ray & the guys are up for helping....never bled dual piston calipers before and the pedal still feels a tad "squishy". May just be me, but thinking that getting them looked at by the VW guru's would be a good insurance policy |

Got the engine buttoned up day before yesterday, got all the body seals installed (not as hard as I thought they were going to be, even though the engine to rear apron tried to give me fits lol) and just got back from getting a couple Cobalt drill bits to remove the broken beam bolt next Sunday. Would slide the engine in, but not wanting to chance a downpour while working on it. Kinda sucks not having a garage T-Minues 7 days  |
