No problem. I'll do what i can to speed things along in your absence. Welding and painting is stuff that is not weather dependent.

I dropped the headers off at a local ceramic coaters. They quoted me $150. They are pretty rusty so I expected such. I will be taking my R90 pipes to them as well. The guy was not sure about doing chrome, though. It may need to be blasted for a long time. If so, I will need to find someone with a blast cabinet and time. Maybe I will pay a visit to Scotty if he still has the cabinet.

Well, it has been a shitty two days this week already. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

Sun, my seats will not be getting done. My Mom has issues (long personal story) and has become "unable" to do them. This screwed Zach over as well since I had him send his stuff to her (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Today, I go to pickup and pay for my headers at the ceramic coaters. The door is locked and all signs of the business are missing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I was told that the headers would be done last Fri and I told them I would come get them this week. Their phone still works, but rings to the inside of the now abandoned looking building. There was an answering machine. Here is to hoping.....

I would, but I found a much cheaper shop that I can actually return to after the work is done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) The closed shop quoted me $300, the other shop $120.

No, it was TNK coatings. PA powderworks is the better one. TNK's web site says that they moved to Reading. That is only about 2hrs away (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Well, luckily, the shop called me this afternoon and the guy said he found out Fri that they were moving to Reading. He said the headers were not done yet and that I could pic them up Thurs at noon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

It also looks as if Zach and I have another chance to get our seats done. Here is to hoping. I'll know for sure next week most likely.

Completely the wrong way. In other good news (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I just took my subie in to have the oil changed, found that it was pretty empty (nothing in the stick) and that my radiator fluid has a nice sludge in it :trohpy:

Bad luck travels in 3s! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) I am so happy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Time to look for a shop to fix my head gasket (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I need to sell a lot of videos for this.

Mike,


I am a 5 minutes from Reading if you need me to stop by and pick up your headers let me know. Do you know where the shop is?





Is this the place http://tnkcoatings.com/index.html

Scott, I dont think it is her fault. This is a common failure point with the original head gaskets and it is failing just like the others of this year and type tend to do.

Dan, thanks for the offer. I should be able to get it Thurs here in town, but if I cant I will let you know.

Regarding the suby, I am trying to decide if I want to fix it myself and save a lot of money. I might even be able to get the bus up and running before the suby could have been fixed. As it stands, the quickest a shop can look at it is Mon. It still drives, I will let Noel drive it to and from work as those are short trips. It is not overheating yet. I might be able to get the bus running by Mon. I would need a place to yank the engine and to the fix, though. It would take 2 full days. This week is suck because I have final projects to do, but if I finish my last one tonight, I can work on the bus tomorrow. I am rattling around ideas in prose if you cant tell (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

When was the last time that it had belts and water pump replaced?

If you are pulling the engine to do head gaskets, nearly everyone that deals with scoobs say to replace the water pump and belts.

Ya, I know. And belt tensioner, possibly. If I do it I will be doing both head gaskets and all the other stuff. Its about $200-300 if I do it and $1500+ if a shop does it from what I am reading.

I just need a space and a cherry picker. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Mike, I'd be happy to help you with whatever project(s) you want me to help with. Head gasket changes, bus assembly, sewing some upholstery... (I hope you have a LOT of thimbles)

Jim, while you are out here it is imperative that we have 2 working vehicles. So, we can work on the bus, but not the suby until the bus is up and running. If I can do the heads in the car then I can do the suby in my driveway. I need to look into that.

What we do have while you are out here:
- Transmission rebuild for Babydoll
- Stack RnR
- Stack gear swap
- Rebuild a side and tail shift on video. You may be more involved with the video than you or I previously imagined (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I should have you bring a monkey suit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
