Ok it isn't really a festival, more of a tech day. We are going to have Steve's Square at my house Saturday morning and we will go thru the brakes and the fuel system. Anyone who wants to help or watch and add constructive commentary is welcome. We will start around 10:00 a.m..
I will be working on installing new seals and sending unit on Mary's Square also.
Clyde, feel free to load the van with parts and set up shop in the driveway.
Steve is bringing his fire pit so we can stay warm in the morning and have some other warm time later in the day. _________________ 73 Typ481

Hey guys!
Jon's house is the 3rd house on the left on Elder Ridge Drive, Bishop, Ga 30621. You cannot miss it for all of the VWs. It is off Elder Road near Herman C. Michael Park. I do not know the street number.
Hope to see you tomorrow!
May be doing suspension tuning if we have time to get to it. _________________ Steve

We had a great day! Thanks to Bob, James, Darrell, Pete, Clyde, and Shane for helping with the day. The brakes are done on the rear (finished today), the front brakes have new flex hoses, and the fuel lines are clear. The gas tank is removed and while it is not rusty, it does have 30lbs of sludge in it. It is going for a boiling later this week.
We got the engine running and confirmed that it needs to be rebuilt. It should get pulled and torn down later this week.
I'll post some pics as soon as photobucket quits giving me problems. _________________ 73 Typ481

That's a drag that Steve's engine needs to be rebuilt, but at least it wasn't totally unexpected. Hey, the rest of the car (interior, paint) is so nice, should be a runner in no time |

The work continues tommorow. Steve and Pete R. will be installing new front brake components and a little lowering may be in order. _________________ 73 Typ481
