soon, and build it or buy it pre built... either way I cant loose...
seeing the pic here of my arb kills me a little though :(
glad you got it though, hope you have fun with your cruiser... had someone call...
Ok , well I found myself another cruiser. I wont have it for a month or two, but it is mine.as much as I would like to keep both, I need some cash (kinda low cause I moved, started a business again etc..)
Here is whats wrong with it (not much)
The windows do not roll up or down,cept the...
doing ok ... found another one I am thinking of getting, if I do this is up for grabs.... the windows are my main problem right now, I need a controller (drivers side door window thing)
Otherwise she runs like a top and looks great. :)
thanks for asking....
Well for all those wondering, or those that even care...... heh....
The 80 did well, still looking for some little parts, the drivers window switch combo used preffered.... and the sunroof switch....
anyhow, went to go out west and found instead that a friend in Florida had a house become...
looked around on the site, sorry if this is obvious but I am missing it. I am going traveling for work/for the hell of it. I would love to hit some events to hang and watch, mabey pick up parts, etc....
Used to be into VW vans (pre 67 split windows) I could always find a show, a race or...
Well, given everything here, my love for the 80 series, and where my work is taking me..... Unless I find someone who hands me the 6k for it. I am leaving to Colorado and other points west.... Going it easy....No rush to get there, see the sites, scenic routes, etc.. Checking on stuff, fixing...
replaced the rubber hoses so no brake probs....
Flushed the front 4 times and now it runs clear.
Replaced the seals for now.... repacked both birfields.....and wheel bearings.
think all but the sunroof which works, and the rear drivers window, everything else now works........
but yeah packed...
it runs good... I did the seals in the front, put off the whole front axle rebuild for the moment.... But as to how much I have in it ..... about 5500 total parts and purchase price..... so I stuck 6 on the sign... Still want to keep it . Wanted this model for a long time.
hell it only has a...
I put a stupid price, and I really do not want to sell it. Just with work slow can not have continuous vehcle problems.... I will keep it unless it costs me a whole lot more.... Otherwise I will sell it and buy another one next year.......
Gotta think about survival before what I would preffer...
So among the various electrical problems, that I almost have fixed...
I was driving home through PA when I got a bad vibration, pulled over and found center cap gone and all but one of my lugs on my fron right wheel snapped off...
Before anyone says it, yes I did check the lugs to see if they...
mine gets about 15 - 18 depending.. I have been keeping a close eye.....
Highway, no traffic 18 or so... city and highway 15....
normally average between.
Wierd thing is that Rick B. was suprised I have a 20+ gallon tank.... dont all of them?
I am sure of the tank size ..... empty with light on...
heh, thanks , I will try that.... I do know that it does blow as soon as I turn the key on, well a second or two after anyhow......will report back on what it does after that test.
ok I have checked if it blows with the power seats unhooked AND the ac off.... yes it blows.....
I can say the pages load fine DF , and yes I am sure it is #16 ..... now if only there was a online manual for the wiring .... heh ....
Anyhow gonna have to camp for a few days so I am going to...
its the fuse to the right of the a/c fuse..... I am trying again to trace
it down..... it is tough.... I thought mabey someone knew where it went so i could see if it was a short in the wire itself or what.....
somehow I need to get it done, hotwiring my windows all the time is getting old......
So the FL POWER 30 amp rectangular fuse blew, I replaced it and it blew a week later. Now it blows every time I put one in.
Tried to trace it down, to no avail yet. Any tips?
It is the fuse that controls the windows,seats,locks and I think some other stuff.....
Anyone know where...
ok crossed tt and e1 , turned on the key, no blinking anything. Checked connection, tried again, same result.
Removed jump, started truck and drove down road, no blinking od light.... go figure....
now as to finding the short in my windows/locks/seats/etc..... that one is getting old .....
