What did you do for your VW today?

[TaylorMutts]

That looks really sharp, Clinton. Do you have any plans to paint/coat those pipes, or are you going for the polished look?

[MadMike]

Looks 'Purdy' Clinton ;D,Worked on the Laser yesterday,I pulled the seat and steering wheel out so I could work on the peddel assembly installed a skate board wheel as a gas pedal,nice bearings ; wishing I was 20yrs younger and 20lbs skinnyer ;D ;D Next to pull the drive train and build thr freeway flyer trans,Madmike

Taylor, I plan on going with an aluminum powered coat, another thing my neighbors can do. Yes, my neighbors are great. They run a business right out of there out building. They work on everthing from chainsaws to buldozers and anything in between. Mike that skate board wheel sounds like a neet trick I will have to remember that one.

I have spent my long weekend building my 1600cc DP Bus engine. Cleaning tons of grease and electrical fire ash sucks. I have completed the short block assembly. watch for pictures in the Bus project when the engine is finished.

Wrestled with the stupid rear tin, which was never drilled for the heat risers by the PO, which explains a lot of the crap idle recently:

Seriously, how hard is it to make a stamped piece that fits half-way decently?

Then I pulled the engine out


I think everybody does this at some point

[vw1302]

OMG, too funny, I thought I was the only one, I did that when I pulled my engine out of my super ;D

[MadMike]

I was bored Sunday so I pulled the 1641 out of the Laser and Installed some 40 webers on it threw it on the test stand and played with it ;D Runs better the the tired W110 cam'd 1/2 class 1600 I had them on ;D Madmike

[Dustin]

I have pictures of me like that with my Super too.

[jbrandt01]

I call it Coca-Coil

[bren]

Now that is cool.
Would you be offended if you saw that on someone elses car? I might have to copy.

But we all know Pepsi is better. Pepsiaholic here.

I was thinking about doing that with a miller can, because there both blue.

[jbrandt01]

not in the least, I actually copied it from somebody on thesamba. Theirs was a red bull can that was cut and wrapped under the clamp.



Step one, stab 2 holes in the bottom of the can and drain out the coke. Step 2, cut a arge hole around the circumfrence of the bottom of the can that is slightly smaller than the body of a Bosch Blue. Step 3, cut a square in the back of the can that is as wide as the height of the clam and as tall as the width of the clamp. Insert the clamp and rotate so it sits right. Step 4, round down the jagged edge of the bottom of the can and put the coil down in and through the clamp and bolt it back on.

Agreed there! But my preference is Mountain Dew

Finally sat down and got the new seals in my popouts. I used hot soapy water and a butter knife, it wasn't that bad.
