Return

Yes, I have not posted in many months. The main object of this year was to get the vee-dub to the Subdued Stringband Jamboree. And I did. But now the Weekender is back in the garage ready for a wave of work. I started with a new exhaust. An Empi from jBugs in Oceanside. And the list is still long. (I took it to a mechanic to have him assess the situation and adjust the carbs.)

Once the exhaust is on, the for CV joints need to be replaced. Sounds like a fun way to spend a rainy weekend. The brakes too need some love. I have a master cylinder coming up from jBugs too - not sure why jBugs, it seems I order from everyone: Bus Boys, Bus Depot, M&T Manufacturing (probably my favorite), and of course, West Coast Metric.

Oh and the cab floor needs to be welded, as well as the battery tray. And I'll probably pick up the SVDA distributor from aircooled.net when the old income tax check comes my way. 

Some day I will get to the exterior, but right now it is very solid with little rust. Unfortunately, it still has many original parts, but it has great bones.
