Today was another day of shitty weather. So, I decided to work inside the bus. I was itchin to get back to working on the bus this weekend so I was not gonna let the weather deter me. I trimmed the front engine tin so that it would fit better, installed a seal and then spent the remaining 7 hours working on the wiring inside the cabin. I finished the DIN 15 connector for the instrument cluster, and added a molex connector for the other instruments and fuel control.

I am pretty close now. To do list for tomorrow:
- Finish wiring
- Axles
- Exhaust
- Hook up the suck for the brake booster
- Hole for the fuel line

The arrow in the pic shows where I may need to trim the seal.

I had been thinking about going in this direction eventually. What do ya'll think?

2.5" spindle lift and one notch of adjustment in the rear.

Looks good with a little lift, and some beefy tires.

Thats what I thought you should have done from the beginning. And make it 4wd.

I will do a synchro conversion some day, but not now. This conversion would not take much so it is first. Here is a link to this and a bigger red bus on the Samba (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Syncro Vanagon Westy with a subaru diesel . . . definitely someday.

It is crazy how much syncro westys are listed for on the samba . . . so much cheaper to buy a syncro passenger van, a busted westy, and swap parts over.

Hey!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Did you take those seats from my Vanagon during the Ohio tranny clinic?

I better check!

Seriously, I love the handling on my VW Bus (Vanagon), especially after changing from 14 inch steelie rims, to 15 inch Mercedes alloys. That change alone made a miracle change to the handling. Well, that and the natural 50/50 weight balance.

In fact, I might start stalking 16 inch wheels.

If it was mine, I'd improve the handling by changing the wheel rim size, and not increase the ground clearance. Extra height adds to the sidewind succeptablility, and decreases the cornering "slingability".

But, mebbe you want to offroad. Have fun.

Ken

This Sat will be a great day, I hope. Noel and I are both going down early (9:30am) and I hope to have it moving under its own power before I leave at about 7pm.
- Wiring
- Axles
- Exhaust

That is about it for the big stuff. I was going to go down today, but I am finishing up some gear stacks for people so I can get them out tomorrow AM, hopefully (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Its Spring, I need to get them cars on the road.

I am going to go out and give the prius an oil change so that I don't have to do it tomorrow. See you when Theo gets out of swim class.

Lots of work done today. Some stuff fought me so I did not get to finish, but the day produced some good results. Pics later. I am drunk, and going to be. Zach and his wife Erin are in the next room passed out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Good day all around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
