What has been happening lately. Well, quite a lot I guess. I’m in arkansas at the moment which is cool. Got my 68 VW fastback running and driving which is pretty cool. Got a real DL (Sorry Puerto Rico but your driver’s liscense sucks). I must have the best mf picture on my arkansas DL, I want to keep that thing pretty bad. Anyways a lot of stuff was done to the fastback which was taking up most of my time and energy. To list them all would go like this I believe.

  • Sparkplugs
  • Oil change
  • Change plug wires
  • Change fuel lines, twice (wrong hose first time)
  • Change and gap points (need to do again, jerry rigged a bit).
  • Take out and test fuel injectors/ put new hose on
  • Clean fuel system including: Fuel Pump, filter, dampner
  • Get new gas tank and clean/put in/ fuel sender.
  • New battery
  • I changed in and out a coil, but that wasnt the problem

I still have a few more things to do which I will list now. Some need to be done shortly, and some will be a bit

  • Check transmission oil
  • add maybe 1/2 quart of engine oil
  • Service brakes
  • Grease wheels
  • fix something called a z-bar (and put on new rubber pieces)
  • fix exaust hose thing
  • Get tachometer
  • Get temp gauge
  • Figure out why the horn sounds when I turn/ push on brakes
  • maybe lube the front end
  • Get it alligned
  • Maybe raise the suspension a bit (God I love torsion bars)
  • Maybe fix engine transmission seal
  • New fuel sock
  • Update insurance

I do also have to get rid of all the toxic mf waste that is created when working on cars. That part isnt very fun.

Overall it’s cool, I have my own car!
