Re: my 73 thing. Formerly Raj's
Rebuilt top end of motor and installed today. Got it running but sounds like it has a little valve tick. Maybe I have to check valves again. I'll do it in the morning.

my 73 thing. Formerly Raj's
I chose to use plastidip as kind of an experiment. The finish looks pretty nice. Works for a thing. The good thing is, if I don't like it, I can peel off and start over.

important stops in california
I am in San Francisco and tomorrow I am starting my journey down the coast. I will end up in Anaheim. Any vw stops that I need to make on the way down the coast. I am with my whole family so far side tracks probably won't be possible. But if close to rt 1 I may stop.

door support braces
I figured I would ask, does anyone have those door support braces to use during heater channel replacement on vert bug. They bolt into hinge spots. If anyone does, I would love to borrow, rent, buy them.
Thanks
