RDP'S "What are you working on?"

[Crazyhippy]

Carburator tweaking pissed me off... change the jets, and then spend 3 days getting the feed fittings to stop leaking! No more!

Holley sniper and controllable distributor installed, new higher psi fuel pump installed (luckily already had -8 feed and -6 return plumbed). Welded an o2 bung in, and now its time to play with the laptop! It is running, sounds solid, and cruises nicely. Fans are now ecu controlled as well.

ignore the ugly underhood wiring, it is gettting cleaned up too. Still have to mount the ignition box under the dash, and seal up the firewall penetration.

Too far for us unfortunately

Where are you located?

 

[Backlash]

I needed another project like a hole in the head, but couldn't pass this deal up.

 

[rivermobster]

So my guess of "material on hand" was correct?

Also, if you look close (probably hard to tell in the pics) you'll see the drain vent is pretty much preventing the PEX from coming through any lower than it is. There is much more clearance up at the top.

You won't even notice the loop once the new drywall goes into place.

I thought I saw that, but wasn’t sure if it was actually that way.

A big west coast VW run that is held near Santa Maria. Nojoqui falls. Hence the meet in the middle of so cal and not cal/ Central Valley.
One year socal met up and caravaned and it was about a mile long up PCH

Soon to be working on this. Got it for decent price. Gotta blast all the ugly off and see what it needs. Still building the other one, just takes about a month to engineer each custom part...

Got it, could be fun. I’ve been wanting to meet up with more Vw people,not many where I live. I’m most likely going to be leaving the bug in havasu.

As others have said do I really need another project? Pick this up last week. Guy got it at an estate sale and changed his mind so here I am to help him out. Fired it on starting fluid the next day. Drove to Prescott in this weather.

1984.

 

[TonyFanelli]

1984.

Sweet! Looks pretty clean. Are you going to keep it, and how many miles?
I picked this up a few years ago, it's in great condition. Also a 1984

Don't know if I will keep it or not. I was really looking for an early 70's Honda 750. There are more Honda but the price is higher and there is more parts available for them. I will get this running and figure out what to do after that. I wouldn't mind one of those either.

Cool, please keep me posted if you want...thanks!

 

[WTR&PWR]

They would have indeed.

They loops didn't cost me anything and now there are eight less places to leak.

Don’t forget some nail plates if you’re gonna drywall

Finally got the new fence backup after our addition some 2 years ago to isolate the back yard...not sure what took so long to get this done other than finding the time to do it. Vinyl and extruded aluminum components from Lowe's. Had to fabricate the two 6' gates from their material as I wanted drive in access to the back yard or open for family events. I think it came out decent...
