Adventures in no particular order, but mostly chatter about junk.

the grind

Monday, December 10, 2007

work has been busy, and by busy i mean crazy, and by crazy i mean ^$#%^$# crazy. 

last weekend i did a good deal of home work, i was able to work on the car a bit scrubbed down the roof and wet sanded it, took the awning rail off and vacuumed out the inside...  not really anything productive. 

tonight was my test, work sucked today and then on the way home bus crapped out on 75. My lovely wife rescued me, and dropped me off at school for my exam. After the test, dad came by and we ran out the see if we could fix it. As i expected it was the wiring for the gauges. I believe that the gauge of wire i used was much to small and it was the result of my problem, all i had to do was cut out all the melted wire and toss it, then it started right up. I still am having a few issues, but it's running and that's what matters. 

Dual carbs came in today... that means that this weekend i am going to yank the engine and install them. While it's out i am going to:

replace the fuel lines
run new wire for the gauges (with a fuse)
check the trans fluid 
carbs, of course 
try to fix a few of the electrical bugs
paint the bus...

i hope to have it all back together by the begging of next week...
a lot to do, hopefully i'll have time.
