All you need now is a shoddy bomb full of used pinball machine parts . . .

Well and the white paint to drop a bit lower.

Watch out for those Deloreans

Jealous of those seats, look way more comfortable than the stock ones in my 76.


If you don't have a walk through, back seats from a vw gti make really great bench seats in the front of a bus. I had a leather gti rear seat in the front of my '66. Front mounts are on the seat but you have to make the rear ones.

I chucked the Hon-duh seats that were in the bus. Too thick and ugly/dirty. Since I have access to 914 seats and have seen them installed, I am putting 914 seats in first. I will be removing and selling the stock seat covers for the rear and bunk as I will have custom ones made by my mother. They are in great shape, too.

Nice work, Scotty! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I was watching a Charlie's Angels movie on HBO yesterday (yeah, I know, but it was a slow day and they're really not bad looking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) and there was a scene where a car goes flying through the air and lands on a VW bus. Was that really necessary? These film makers were obviously not bus people. What a shame. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I remember that scene, and that it pissed me off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I figure I will start making my engine progress/regress notes in this thread as well as I can more easily find it and it is all in one place.

This weekend I checked the clearance on my my crank and rods and they were within limits.

Then I balanced my rods...or am half way through. Top ends were done and had a spread of 11g which is pretty crappy. Now they are all within 1g which is the limit of my equipment. I stopped with doing the bottom ends because I needed to check clearances within the case between the bottoms and the opposing parts. I figured if I needed to remove material from the bottoms then balancing them before this step would be worthless.

Checking clearance on the inner workings of the engine required the placement of two rods, pistons and cylinders. Putting the pistons in the cylinders was a bitch, but I was patient and managed to not break any of the rings. Clearance looks good for the 1st two rods and pistons. I need to remove a small amount of material from #2, but no biggie.

It was getting late and I was getting clumsy so I called it a night. Next I need to do the other 4 cyls, finish clearancing any little bits, disassemble everything and clean, then reassemble. Thats all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I knew I was getting clumsy when I knocked a p/c and rod set off the bench, but luckily it only chipped the skirt in a way that could be managed...gotta be more careful.

Last night I did the rest of the clearance check and all looked good. I did notice that the cylinders were not turned down enough which left me with a .15" deck height. Kinda big, no? No worries, I will have the shop turn them down a little more once I get the heads and CC them so I can calculate the amount to be turned. Kinda sucks because it is gonna hold up assembly of the short block, but what ever.
Regarding the heads, I ordered the valve locks off line and the dealer told me Clevite doesnt make them anymore, but that he had a Melling part that matched. That turned out to be BS as the parts he sold me were 3/8 not 11/32. Only out $12 I decide to buy from a place that knows Corvairs, Corvair Ranch which is about 1.5 hrs away from me. I hope the locks will be here tomorrow and I can drop them off. With any luck I can pick up the heads on Thurs and start CCing them. Then, it is off to clean and assemble.

That is awesome...do the sides also...really big.
I think you might want to pinstripe that in pink...

Doc, go find an Agway store or a big horse supply store.
Buy a stall mat...its 5/8 thick rubber and all your stuff will bounce.
Keeps your feet warm also.

I was thinking about a set of those truck balls in pink hanging under the bumper (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
