Initial Interest Gauge
Heere we go, you ask, "why is Colin so LATE with this 2014 Forum?" and I answer:
I've been shoveling in the morning, I've been shoveling in the evening, I've been shoveling out a warning (look out, lumbar vertebrae!!!) . . .
Please give me your desired Volkswagen Improvement Prayers
and
hoped-for time frame
and
geographical location.

Re: Initial Interest Gauge
Nose cone work, new clutch, check end play, possible rear wheel bearing. As soon as you can come down. It's warm here.

Going back to 2008, you've opened it up on the 49.5th day of the year, on average. So you're 6.5 days early.Amskeptic wrote:Heere we go, you ask, "why is Colin so LATE with this 2014 Forum?"

Yes and yes. I've been looking forward to this forum opening, checking it twice a day, and you all still beat me. Glad I'm not the only one excited.

Re: Initial Interest Gauge
Last round for the current location, I guess. Depends on when you get here. Hopefully, if we find a new place, it'll be somewhat more comfortable than past sessions. Plenty to do as always.

Re: Initial Interest Gauge
I have always enjoyed our local location, it's just the Greater Irvine cookiecutterSoCalManicured heebiegeebies that I have suffered coming in off the desert.

Smog is due in late June. Running pig-rich, but relatively happily at the moment.
Things we could do:
* Smooth out the shifter: Alignment from earlier; also the forward guide is probably wasted ~ I haven't looked
* Clean and reseal the camper top
* Fix the fluid squirters. Pump is good, just dumps water on the ground. I suspect line is broken in the dash area
* Exhaust? Maybe bad, I dunno. Smells metallicy when running
more stuff.

Re: Initial Interest Gauge
Better schedule your northern plains swing after the first week in May, because that pic at the top could have been May 2 here last year. I'm still in for the basics but every time I walk in the shop I think of more - I've got an electrical leak somewhere and am casting a suspicious glance at the alternator diodes, help getting the sliding door track cover back on, doing what I can to the driver/pass door lock and latch mechanism to get them working better.
