    1970 VW Fastback

    Got it to fire up on starting fluid Saturday night. We tried several times with gas and the fuel pump, but determined that I purchased the wrong length fuel pump push-rod so we needed to find one of those. My buddy 'knows a guy', crotchety old vw hoarder in town. We scheduled a visit to him...

    1970 VW Fastback

    Saturday we got the axles bolted in and checked the fuel tank. Tank was clean, this car was originally a fuel injected variant and I'm going back to carbs, so there's a return line on the bottom of the tank that I had to plug. Also had to clean out the insect nests from the lines, but we got...

    1970 VW Fastback

    Pretty productive weekend on the Fasty. Air-cooled-cruiser friend came to town and stayed with me for 3 days and we got the engine, trans, axles in and got it to fire up and run for a second on gas. Woo-hoo! Friday we messed with the generator pulley and belt, I purchased a new pulley online...

    What did you do on your 70 series today?

    What he said... I may have waited a bit too long, as it was still too wet for a second coat when I went to bed and was past the 'squeaky drag, but no paint on finger' test the next morning. I did not sand, can hardly reach it one-handed, I just slathered another coat in there and am calling it...

    I've used a 1/4" spacer with stock lug nuts on my 45 for about 25 years, no issues.

    What did you do on your 70 series today?

    Finally coating the inside of the rockers I repaired with some POR15. Need to put on a second coat still. These little cans are a bit more $/ounce, but my quart can that I had and was half full, was rock-hard and no bueno. One 4-ounce can did the first coat. You know there's enough in...

    1970 VW Fastback

    Been awhile took me several tries but finally got a fan belt on the thing. The generator is off a type one and the bolts fowled the pulley. gut them off as they were too mangled on the end to back out. Also pulled some more fuel injection stuff out and began trying to get a fuel pump...

    Got another 'new-used' seat, this one for the passenger side. Not sure what year/make it's out of, was going in a project 79 series at SNLC's shop but didn't work out. I need to get a new head rest as the old one from my original seat fits like sleeve of wizard. I took the lift-spacers off...

    SOLD Boise, Id: 7* Toyota Key Blank

    I'll get back to you. I think it might work on my FJ55, its a tad long, but I'm going to drop by the local Ace Hardware and ask the guy that did the last two keys for me if he thinks it will work.

    May will be a bit early. It goes up to about 9k feet and we had a decent snow year, not great up there, but I bet enough to keep it closed until mid June.

    I accidently ordered the wrong key blank for my 75 series. $10 shipped in the U.S. Vehicles that it should fit:

    Talked a local Ace Hardware into cutting me a new key with my supplied blank, never really cared for the GM key it came with :rolleyes:

    Builds Oman -> SoCal 1995 FZJ75 Troopy

    I'd think yes. I've got dual batteries, but am a 14BT (was 3BII). I've got dual batteries in our 80, which is 1FZ, had to move the windshield washer reservoir to do it. I've thought about moving my house battery to the the engine bay, so I'd have three batteries in there. I'd just need to...

    Built a new electrical box and relocated my house battery, USB/cig plug & DC-DC converter. Also added an inverter, just 'cause I had it, not sure I'll use it, and added another 12 fuse panel for loads in the back of the vehicle. My other one is up under the dash, next to the heater. It's...
