she was pretty chuffed about that haha!

I also got a photo of her helping a friend pull some plastic off a new junker van. Got some of it sucked into the power steering pump or something haha. Was making really bad noises that I didn’t understand. Too much bullshit on these things

Welp. Finally biting the bullet. Emilee started to get really excited about camping in her bus, but the thing needs a bit of tlc before she can go romping off into the woods alone haha. Main complaint, she hates that it smells like gas so bad…. the breathers on top of the tank leak so bad if you fill the tank full… so out with the engine to get to the tank.

while it’s out I’m going to do a few other things. Seems like the input shaft is leaking a bit, as well as the damn dipstick tube boot again. I saw a way you can fix it on the samba and you don’t have to use the crappy boots. Going to try that. I am also going to check the brakes and put new brake hoses on it. They are looking very stiff haha. New exhaust too. It has a leak from some rust. A few things and she will be on her way.

Thanks for the support guys. Found the culprit of the gas smell. Can’t wait to get this thing rolling for fall climbing trips. BAY PRIDE!!!

Not yet. I ended up actually working yesterday.

and we decided to send her tin out to powder coating since we have another batch going out this week. Make it all pretty.

I also thought I had shoes and pads for it… but I messed up and bought earlier bay shit. I guess it’s not the same?… hahaha I don’t know. Need to order up that stuff now.
