Got my windshield out in one piece and without bending the trim!

I also separated the exhaust and trans from the 1.8.

Got an email that my new cocomats have been shipped.

Also, I considered changing the headlight bulb today (one of the high beams is out), but then didn't get around to it.

{Hmmm... not sure that really qualifies as DOING something.}

Well at least we know your thinking about it.

That makes me feel better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)


Glad to see you posting pix again Joe. My Lumix camera died last month and shortly after, Dianne's camera took a poop too. Bought her a new one and liked it so much, bought one for myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I went to start the Vanagon ('Eileen') yesterday, but she didn't want to run, just sputtered and died (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Hoping she's just low on gas (gauge doesn't work) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ... she just passed smog a month ago and was running fine. I guess I'd better stick a battery in the 'BB and see how she runs after sitting for months (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Another great Multi tool use! Picked up my wheels from the machine shop (turned 00s into 01s). It didn't take long to discover sanding and cleaning wasn't going to be as easy as I thought. Old paint and brake dust are hard to get off!

Slapped a scratch pad onto the Multi tool and Wallaahh! Clean wheels!

Now to get then finished an on the car... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Got me some new tires so I can safely drive to OkteenerFest tomorrow.... I am a cheapo, so nothing fancy. Ended up with 50K mile Falken's.

the PO put 195/60 on 14 years ago. I think that must have been the day before the valve seat dropped and he parked it. Hated to pull "full tread" tires, but they were OLD.

I got lucky too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) They only had 3 of the tires I wanted, so I got an upgrade at the same price. $281 for 4 185/60, so I had him find me a spare from there "take-off" pile. I liked the width of the 195 but decided to go with 185. Price and availability won out on size.

Two 356 sightings in as many days - cool.

I poured a couple gallons of petrol in the Westy's tank and after a few cranks, she started up and ran fine. Guess I'd better put some effort into fixing the sender or gauge (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

i just wanted to start a thread to see what you guys do day to day on your cars.

i'll start,

about a month ago, i pulled my engine and trans to put in a new clutch. had the flywheel lightened and resurfaced. but what i didnt know is that i had to shim the little ball that the clutch arm rides on, after a resurfacing. so guess what i did today?

yup, pulled the trans and put an extra washer under the ball. you have to goop up both washers to get it to seal because the threaded hole goes all the way thru to the inside of the trans. i also replaced the plastic cup that the ball rides in. the throwout bearing and its little plastic blocks were fine so i buttoned every thing back up. 5 hours total. i think this has been the cheapest repair yet on my car. $2.75 for the little plastic cup.

what did you do to your 914 today?

Bought my 914 a month ago. Changed the alternator today - 7 hours. I'm used to front engine vehicles. All I can say is WOW! I hope other things are easier.

Passed by the 'BB' several times today. Still working with topsoil for the front yard and flower bed (honey-doo).

Decided to take the camera with on the way to Lowes (for more 'dirt'), because I've been meaning to get a shot of this:

Drove my teener over the twisty roads to Cleveland, Georgia and had lunch with my mother and my ex-wife, Nancy. Even though Nancy and I have been divorced 34 years, we still remain friends. Seven years ago when her son, John, lost his battle with brain cancer, we lean on each other for support. She and her other son, Steve, came to my daughter's wedding. Life is too short to harbor ill feelings to anyone.

Nancy and I bought the car together in 1973 and she had not seen it in over 34 years. She was amazed how good it look. We drove it from Atlanta to the west coast in 1975. It vapor locked in Arizona with temps above 110! Turned heater on to avoid more vapor locking! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
