Super In Law is back to work. He cut open the workbench to allow us to slip the small parts storage tool box under the bench.

I plan to go thru all the parts totes and extract all the hardware and small bits.

Next he's fabricating the pivot mount for the 55" TV/Computer monitor.
After that he's all Jacked about building an engine test stand. It will be T4 only.

After my week at Rothsport I decided it's time to get the BE parts washer up running.
It was always going to be set up for temporary use, roll it to the door way to let the steam out. Nope, we'll hard wire it in and vent it out the wall.

Here's my current project. Seems like I carry my Barer of Bad News nickname with me. Found a couple rust issues that needed to be dealt with. Then on to a complete combination Elephant Racing / JWE suspension swap. I mean complete, nothing left but the holes in the car.
Oh yeah, complete oil cooler / oil line change. Had a medium Setrab in the right fender. It's getting a running mate in the left fender.

Took some Bilstein struts out our vast inventory of parts and ran them thru the BE parts washer to bring them back to green. Went in grimy black, came out 80% green.
Hand washed them in the regular Safety-Kleen parts washer to get the last 20% of grime off. Then ran them thru the BE parts washer again to get the mineral spirits off.
Then 3 coats of John Deere green. Look just like new.

Super In Law update :

Took a newfangled stress test on Tuesday. No info yet.
He's taking a medication to keep his pulse/heart from slowing down. Which will keep it from going crazy to try and catch up. Which causes the dizziness.

After Super In Law finishes the big screen install he'll go on to documenting the differences in the front panels and its corner braces from 70 - 75.

After reading the thread about building an engine with his 4 year old son I had to find an old spiral bound copy of John Muir's book. That's where I started this madness 44 years ago.

This morning starts with a stop at Ace for vent pipe and some electrical boxes to get the BE parts washer up and running. We'll start with Mark's box of steering racks and valve covers.

Super In Law went to work on the parts washer. He finished up the wiring and we ran a couple tests. Every thing checked out ok. Turned on the heater and water started to heat up. So we thru in couple steering racks and away she went. But only for about 6-7 minutes and my new Made In American Dayton turntable motor started smoking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
I bought it brand new in 2012. Dandy .................

Decided just buying another new one wasn't going to do me any good. The irrigation pump / electric motor repair shop was open till 2pm. So I dropped it off. I need to know if it was DOA, or do I have a wiring issue. I just wired it up the way I found it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

We have a newer version of the same washer at Rothsport. On Monday I'll chase the wires down. There's only two so it shouldn't be real tough.

Dayton 1LPN6

It sounded pretty cool for a few minutes .....................

Just thought I'd add a little tidbit that I've learned at Rothsport. We usually have a couple 964 back dates going all the time. In doing so the cars are stripped down to bare metal. When pulling the dash or face plates they get a little nicked up.

Those nicks and cuts can be easily repaired with super glue. The foam reacts very well to the super glue. Here's a shot of my repaired sun visor pad from the roof.
