Well we did talk about a possible plan of you coming to help disassemble and assess for a parts list, then come back round for the longer part of helping bring the bug back to life. I will cleancleanclean parts....
We could do the disassemble sooner the better I should be able to find a spot in the Annapolis shop storage bays for keeping us warm and dry. Yes dry...
So I guess anytime, Thursdays and Fridays are the best, I don't have to take leave from my part time job.
What do you think of this? And when is good for you?:)
PM me if you want.

I'd be interested in a visit during one of your swings through Atlanta

Tell me what you'd like to address on what vehicle, and if you are weather-independent. Atlanta could be coming up sooner rather than later if we have a nice warm sunny day.

Bloomington, Indiana; 1978 Sunroof Bus, headliner removal/ replacement.

Applicable glass/ seals will be removed and any other requests you might have. I expect this to be the job that puts me in the psychiatric ward.

Me too. We'll go together. This job can take days. Lots of clamping, stretching, hair-dryering, gluing. Question is, when can we find an open-ended block of time to aloow for exigencies?

I have 176 hours of vacation to use this year, so let me know as this may take several days. I have the heat gun and if this place doesn't sell, then we will use the same garage with the music station you enjoyed.

Hiya VWB,

Hmmmmm..........I think I have an old (VHS) video of how to install a Bug headliner. It was a pretty good step-by-step as I recall. And they talked tools and chemicals also. If I can find it, does that interest you?

It does not have me.

Indeed it does. Perhaps I could make a documentary of the headliner install as well? "If you can install a sunroof headliner, you can do anything..."

Consider yourself on the list. But please look around and see if you can stretch it to a full day.

Miss Zora Loves the Attention She Gets from Colin

Post by misszora » Mon Jan 26, 2009 4:25 pm

Hey Colin!!!

Count me in for a full day (thursdays, fridays & saturdays are best so far).

Miss Zora is running great (knock on wood) but I'm sure she'll need some TLC by this summer. She has been enjoying her new lease on life to the fullest with the big trip to Burning Man and worry-free trips to the mountains and up to Washington. And she's going to Nehalem Bay this weekend. Woo!

If anything, I need to address that mess of an electrical system I have, get the slider door and driver side door to work better, maybe locate and correct a mystery oil leak.

And, of course, the bonus is getting to spend time with you. :cheers:

I could stretch it into a full day easily, but cost is an issue. If my house sells by then, I will be able to afford it. If not, money will be real tight for a while.

I have a very good friend with a 74 Adventurewagon in need of some assistance in Minneapolis, as their van has sat for a few years now without use and they need help getting it going again.

motor was rebuilt in SF, CA in 2003 and it hasn't seem much use since then. duel dellorto (sp?) carbs.. beautiful bus.

would you be able to split the day between two different vehicles?

if so, im sure they would be interested, very fun people, and ill touch base and confirm (and get them over here to post, they aren't online much) if that sounds ok?
