Doug…retro sound arrived yesterday along with the rear window seal. Installed.

Those we’re last items as far as I know.

Come and get it! Bring a battery if you want to drive it home.

We will build it if it comes.

Working on Jim’s baywindow some more. I think I may have went to high school with this 1970 VW  bus. Does Rasmussen ring any bells?

Anyways, the brake system was a whore to bleed. I found the Empi master cylinder had the piston/bleed port not aligned correctly, thus not allowing fresh brake fluid to be sucked through the front half of the system. I fixed it on the bench with some clever adjustments. Then power washed everything to prep for engine/alternator/clutch repairs tomorrow.

Pulled the fan shroud and found more caked dirt/grease. So I did another power wash session.

Engine stacked back together with a new alternator. I did a quickie rattle can job on the fan shroud, welded the thermostat flaps open, and replaced the oil cooler seals.

New clutch, head torque, valve adjust, and added a draft tube type oil filler to help with case pressure/oil leaks. I just installed the engine.

a bunch of electrical repairs, a new battery cable, new light housing and a rigged battery stap.
