I am still thinking about buying that car for the motor. I don’t like scraping out Vw’s. It hurts my karma. Maybe I just pick up a motor from my buddy. I gotta focus on the rust repair fort get that done then I can start buying more parts. My bus is full of parts to be welded on and installed like windows for camper and doors. I got lots of work to do. I need to talk to John to see if we can make this his next personal project for me and I can help as much as I can so I can learn. I wanna restore Vw’s when I get older that’s we’re I wanna be in the dirtyshop ?

I’m trying to get out of the dirty shop and Jesse wants in… 😉  😉  😉     Too much dirty shop work leads to a worn out joints and back… 🙄  🙄  🙄  🙄   a smart man figures out an easier way to make a living, and pays a dumb ass like me to do the work… 😀  😀  😀   But with that said…. there is a lot of satisfaction in doing your own shit… 😉  Not being dependent on anyone else to get what you want, you can do it your damned self… 🙂  🙂  🙂  🙂  🙂  🙂

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

I learned my wrenching skills from watching and working with my dad. I learned rust repair from watching KCW over the years.

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

Balance, JJ, not either or.  You can do enough to keep your hands dirty, skills sharp, and teaches by doing, and you can also step back at times and let the help handle what’s in their wheelhouse and spare the physical toll.  Look no further than your clean shop for an example. 😉

I’ll buy that…. That I need more balance… I’m tipped over at the moment.. 🙄  🙄  🙄  🙄   But the more I work, the more positive things seems to stay…. 🙄  🙄  🙄  🙄  🙄  🙄     I dislike the need for money…. 👿   👿   I want to try and get as close to not needing it as possible.. 😉  😉  😉

I can do it myself with some help on the hard shit. But with al this double door action going on between cole and the other DD getting brought back to life my panties are so wet. Might have to put on a new pair. It’s kinda hard to look at my bus just sitting in the back lot waiting for a new life. But it ain’t gonna happen on its own so I am going to buy a welder and start welding on something so I can perfect my skills. I weld structural shit a r work sometimes when there is no body to weld for us I booger it up. ?

Pat wants to see what brake fluid you have been using to top-off the reservoir.

After closer inspection, your rear brake drums have eroded splines. Fronts are getting thin too. Probably should do all 4 drums new. The transaxle has a worn cross shaft causing the t/o bearing noise. We don’t have the right one in stock.

….so its at the point of ordering/waiting on parts again. About to get pushed back in the lot. 🙁
