The latest. The heads are on, the top cover is on, the oil pan is on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Last to do is put the rear cover on with the oil pump, and then figure out the valve train geometry.

Changed plans today when I found I could pick up a set of vanagon seats for $50. This also means I need to have the swivel changed from the stocker one that is in there, and I need to go cut out the seat rails from the vanagon for the drivers side and have them welded in. Looks like Zach is going to be busy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I tripped down to Corvair Ranch to get the last little parts for the engine today. The engine should be ready to run....now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I need to get the bus ready.
pics to come

I am going to be swamped Friday and Saturday. Sunday may be free, or not depending on what Erin has planned. Lets get the battery tray cut out and welded in before we worry about seat mounts. I want to hear that corvair engine run.

I need to get the engine too you first. I would like to get this wrapped up by next weekend before I am doing internal medicine again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/whip[1].gif)

I rebuilt the calipers and front hubs, the gas tank is almost painted and I swung by your house today to get some more parts and drop off the battery tray (its int he bus). I should have the bumper mounts, front under shield, and gas tank cover repainted by this weekend.

Bah.

Slap the engine on my testing stand. We can go to town.

Run it from my remote starter/tac board. It will be awesome. Glorious. Come on, you KNOW you want to validate all the work you have been doing this past 2 weeks.

And more fun the getting rust in my eyes from chopping out yer rusty ass battery tray.

I just need to figure out how to get it to your house. I wont have time to get the trailer registered this week. Maybe next week. Engine start on the test stand is what I am hoping for (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I may need a hand getting it off of my stand as well, maybe someone local I know can help with the lifting.

Trailer not needed. Make some runners out of 2x4s and throw it in the back of the lesbomobile, er, forrester. That is how I was able to move my engine around.

Not that I don't want you to get the trailer up and on the road. I'll need it to get my monster truck tires to and from the shop that will mount them on the split ring wheels.

Mike

I know you are on the samba but have you read about the vanagon seat swap? I think it puts taller guys up too high. I guess just don't ditch the stock stuff. 50 for those seats is a deal

I did read the samba stuff and IIRC the later vanagon seats arent as bad. However, I am not above chopping the seat frame (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I am gonna see about recovering the seats. I dont have the stock seats so no real loss. I was going to do the 914 seat thing.

I just got back from Lowes with the 4x8 sheet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) Mmmm, engine pics (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

All I have left to do on the engine is modify the oil cooler mount and install the dizzy. The install the cooling tin and fire it up.

I am going to *TRY* and get over to Harbor Freight today and get a bag of aluminum oxide for my siphon blaster. That should let us know right quick where the rust ends and good metal starts in your battery tray. Can't weld to rust, after all.

I found a good source for new retractable seat belts here:
www.autoloc.com
$60 ea, best price in town and they come in a variety of colors (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) They also sell a freight train horn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

The belts showed up today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I bought a 45 pound container of 70 grit aluminum oxide and a tarp to put under the bus so I can recycle it. But it is too wet to blast right now, and likely tomorrow as well.

I think that Erin is going to have me on baby duty in the afternoon, but I may be free in the morning.
