The wife and I drove up to Spanaway, Wa. and picked up Rob's (gearhead1432) 72 1.7.
It will get some love at MiddleMotors in the future. The restoration has been stalled for about 10 years. The Air Force is shipping him to Oklahoma for 4 years so he figured it would be a good time to have it worked on.

Replaced the left rear wheel bearing over the weekend, WHEW !!

On the plus sides:
1. The old wheel bearing has been in there since 1994, ~160k miles ago(?), I think I got my $$$ worth.
2. No more random clunks on the rough roads this morning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
3. No more faint scraping noise while turning left on the drive to work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Received the door handle repair kits from Scott at 914 Rubber this afternoon. Installed one of the the new cams, lock cylinder grommet and rubber seals onto the mechanism that was cleaned-up a couple of daze ago.

... and that took care of the driver's side (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Waiting on some sound deadening foil (that I ordered yesterday) before reinstalling the 'new-to-me' door panel.

I'll eventually need to revisit the passenger side to refresh that mechanism (and install sound material, just not a priority right now) ... and to figure out why the interior handle stopped working again. It was working just fine prior to installing the door panel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I removed the interior handle escutcheon's screw but that didn't change anything (and yes, it's the correct short screw). So prospective passengers will just have to roll down the window to grab the exterior handle to GTFO until it's fixed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Put most of the parts back in Carerror and put her on the scales.
She was not embarrassed because she knows she is going on a diet.

LF. 320. RF. 321

LR. 497. RR. 478

Total. 1616

She is not embarrassed because she knows she still has oil and tranny fluid in her.
Carerror is sub 1600 pounds dry and on a diet.

Took the '71 out for a drive ( beautiful late summer evening in IA) and filled it up with gas (with Stabil as it will take a LONG time before it needs filling again...)

Ran GREAT!!
