So true!!!! I like to be able to hit the road at anytime…  My end gears and fulcrums looked shitty too, and a few of the RB bearings were pretty sloppy/ noisey…  So… I’ll get new bearings, brakes, and steal rusty’s new fulcrums and end gears for mine now… 😎

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

Well… Pamper is down for a few weeks while I get a transmission refresh…

I think I will move my focus to the kombi and give it some love… I have just been using it all summer… 😎  My fuckered up bumpers…

Oil change… tune up, adjust carbs… fix the bumpers up some… No paint job just yet…  just a tidy up… 😎  I should put the bumper from the pamper on with the hitch… then I could tow again… 😎

Hammered them kombi bumpers back as best I could on the bus… 😎 😎  Changed the oil, checked heads, valves, timing, oil filter, air filters, sync… cleaned it out, put the Z bed back to a seat….  Ready for more use!!  😎  😎

I could work on the sand rail, but I know it’s about to get cold.. thats a great deep winter project.. 😎    I also don’t have anything to tow it!!!!!!    8-( 8-( I think I would rather work on my dually front fenders today…. 😎  😎  well see.. it’s nice not HAVING to work on something…  😎 😎

After helping Jesse I got the other dually front fender down and stripped it of it’s crap…..    Then I heard about Audrey’s vanagon… and decided… YUP…. I need a short break from Volkswagens…. I’m working on my truck!!!!! 😎

How it looked a few years back…  in it’s prime probably…. I’m gonna give it a quick run over…  The front fenders have been a nigthmare from day one.. I will explain in pics.. 😎 too many and too much materials .. 😎

I was wondering when you would find time to love on this big girl, it needs to get back into action for a roosters trip.

I spent most of a day looking at my fenders.. then the rest bending up metal and deciding I didn’t like it..  BY days end… I decided another approach should be taken… 😎

I love seeing Gretchen out enjoying our VW’s!!!!  I really like that kombi… Thanks Bill…. 😎  You can borrow it any time you want!!!!! 😎
