You should've gotten your butt up and vended at Volkfest! I sold $170 worth of parts and only bought $90! I'll be getting $40 of that back, though, the spacers didn't fit my MKIII right.

Ya and my other friend had a stand as well. maybe next t!me.

Don't feel bad, Alicia... The older I get, the keener my hindsight becomes! Better than 20/20 now, at last check... <chuckle> There's always eBay and such, though...

You didn't have what I was looking for! I wanted to say goodbye, but I didn't.. I did indeed have a good time, Some familiar faces I haven't seen in many years.

Update w/o pics:
Motor is cleaned and waiting on a stand, I pulled most of the extras off To spray the block in black. Also working on ac delete with a ac bracket, I really wish I had some photos to show you. The new alternator set up will sit slightly lower.

Learned that it's a solid lifter, with JH stamping. :thumb:

Hey hows your cabby coming Along?

I know it has been a really long tim since I last posted anything but Everything has been going pretty good. This weekend we're going to be putting the motor in place, hopefully the weather permits and we have a mild weekend. I also put on th rear coilovers on, so it looks silly

here are some pictures! I have more but I have to upload.

[YJSAABMAN]

Is the dirty hands pic proof that you do work on your own cabby? Good to see someone's been making progress! I really haven't gotten much done to mine, lately. Oh, btw: Hi, Alicia!

Hi Andy Well ofcourse I get my hands dirty I wouldn't call myself a true vw girl if I didn't. I hope you get to work on it, and maybe one day we can cruise topless to long level.

Plan is to fix a few issues on the Jeep and sell it so I can finish up a few things on the beater and get everything I need to get the Cabby on the road over the winter. Weather's clear this weekend, though a little brisk and chilly! Here's to getting work done!

I'm glad to see I have one faithful fan of my build. Can we be friends forever!! LOL seems like you have your plate full.

Currently right now we just pulled the Axel's, and are getting ready to put the motor in from the bottom of course. I'm just taking late breakfast break because the hunger pains were killer.

[hessiandave]

Coming along nicely!

Thanks you'll have to give me a call if you find some parts, you can make some money on the side

I'm not sure if I'm going to get some work done today, due to Halloween festivities but I was planing to do the axles today, and maybe try and get the fenders a doors lined up better. The aftermarket fenders fit like ****, I may have to pull them off and cut a bit on the inside. I'm also not very happy with the paint, the doors seem to be a different shade and they both look like they could use more clear coat. This is the end result of doing it cheep, but I still love it.

please not everyone comment at once

They're a 1 piece wheel

I spent all day yesterday trying to research again, I even sent some e-mails to Discontinued Asa's dealers.. All they told me that they don't know any info on them. If these are indeed the real deal they have to be one of the first sets of 1 piece wheels That were cast after the ASA/BBS merge.

so its a fake lip? ....

[sharonb2010]

Today was the day I sat down and went through all the threads I've been meaning to read. LOL
I am not adding much "substance" by saying this, but I love the blue! It is a great color choice.

And if you're blanket is missing, I swung by and took it.

[MissHood]

Yeah I guess. I'm not going to be using thoes wheels anymore, I found something better Not only is the lip fake, the whole wheels itself is fake.

Yeah, I get tons of replys about it. It just shows how amazing I am at painting. When we painted it, which was 2 years ago or so..I didn't care and I rushed alot.. and It shows, but still a decent try for a first time build ever and being 23.

[hessiandave]

Im considering a set for a fox I just aquired...

I believe there 100mm specific. please correct me if im worng, and if you have no clue what im talking about than..

:

I found the name of the bolt, but ot the bracket between. the bolts I am trying to talk about are called cv joint bolts. This is why I should do more research becuase I look stupid when I say the thingy, goes into the bolt that looks silly.

[YJSAABMAN]

Knew what you were talking about. I don't, but call MG, he prob has some. Or can get you new. BTW, those aren't allen bolts, they use a triple square, or 12point bit. You'll strip them with an allen or a torx.

[MissHood]

I picked up my new ATS Classics today.

[hessiandave]

How tight are those wheels?

[MissHood]

How tight are those wheels?

I didn't put them on the car yet, but I always wanted classics

[waterwagon]

Awkward!

[hessiandave]

Awkward!

Ooooh! Snaked before the edit!!
