What did you do for your VW today?

Saw a thread like this on the Samba and thought it would be interesting to start on here.


So what did you do for your VW today?

[VDub63 ( Steven )]

Well I started taking appart the 71 pan for use on my buggy, The 63 I started and let it run for about 15 minutes, and the 69 I looked at it.

Hahaha I tripped over the new exhaust pipe on the 66 while looking for antisize for the starter bolts for my E150. Never did find it (now on the list of things to get next time I'm at the auto parts store).

Ouch that smarts!!!

looked for more parts for the Baja, Didn't get a chance to get out to the barn today as my mom wanted Christmas lights put up.

I finished wiring the stereo for the blue car. Sounds good to me!

[bjeles]

I assembled my heads for the 73/74 thing project and started painting tins!

[Ruffuss]

Nothing to day but yesterday started Ruffuss and let him run for about 10 mins and Friday I bought what will be a trailer for him from Ben Thanks again Ben. Later Kenn

I picked up an exhaust flange from my neighbor, He built this thing from scratch by cutting it out with a plasma cutter then grinding it down with a hand held grinder. He has always surprised me by what he can turn out. Next he is building me a custom breather box and intake runner for the other side of the turbo. Check it out

^^Thats nice^^ Good neighbor to have. We received new Brake shoes, Wheel cylinders, Rubber brake hoses, Steel brake lines, Master Cylinder, And brake hardware today. Too bad it has to get wrapped up and put under the Christmas tree until Christmas day.

I started my bus, pulled her out of her temporary winter storage garage I built, cleaned off the snow from the roof (Tarp) and put her back in..I wanted to keep right on driving out the driveway..but <sigh>

[Dustin]

I thought that was supposed to be a hot rod Thing

Clinton, post more pics of the turbo stuff... Also I looked for rear disk brakes for my rail today. Any one have rotors laying around for the rear?? Thanks Dave T

[Ruffuss]

Dave T-
I have rear disc on my buggy you could make a pattern off if you want?
Jerry-
yep a trailer out of rear portion of the thing body I got from Ben from in front of the rear doors to the back and incorperate the hood in the mix, my be have the hood open up to the back(not sure) rear doors and hood open for access and deck lid for secure storage, it is being designed as we speak.
Dustin-
Although the body I got from Ben is a good canidate for a trailer to much is missing, rusted or dented for a rod build, I'll just keep my eye out for a better project for a rod, After the first of the year I'm looking at another 73 that hids in a barn near Gobles, owners are in Cancun and then Florida until then.

Hey Kenn, I have another set of disks on my tub buggy that I might steal and put on the rail. The rail has a set of CNC disks on it now.. So I have a pattern sort of, what I want are some 914 rotors... I saw the write up on Blind Chickens site on how to convert the hubs and cut the centers out of a set of rotors to make what I need... The easy way out is kind of what I'm looking at. Thanks Dave T
