Yesterday we went down to Tims VW repair to pick up a "new" trans for the bus. Tim turned out to be a super nice guy and defiantly someone who i will be doing business with again. Apparently he enjoys building engines, maybe one day we'll see how one of his 1776 sounds! GERRRRRRR!

The bus started popping out of reverse and 4th, it runs fine if you hold it in gear but that is a pain and a sign of problems to come.... So today out came the engine and trans, again. Honestly I'm getting a little sick of dealing with with the stupid little shit that keeps messing up on me. These cars truly are "Hitlers revenge..." regardless i have never drive something so much fun and with so much personality, for better or worse. In addition i need to keep in mind that it's a 41 year old car that cost the same as the scooter. hrmmm.

Corporate folks are coming to work tomorrow, that is always interesting... This week i have class, the usual work... I plan to have the bus running again by Sunday, it needs two days of work... one to get the nosecone and hockey stick swapped from the old trans to the new one, along with the backing plates new brake shoes, etc/ etc. A second day to re-install the trans and the engine. While that's out i need to check the spark plugs and other piddley stuff. I have not decided weather on not to lower it more; i have about two inches to entertain.
