Title: Re: OverHaulin' 7 Marc's Millie Meets Her Motor
Post by: 3Gear on March 05, 2014, 09:22:05 am: I'm getting excited!!! I am ordering the last big item today- The shocks! and it was a bit shocking (pun intended) #@rofl3

The right shocks for a Vanagon are not cheap....

For those attending:

I'll have coffee and doughnuts when you arrive.

I'll bring everything we need to do sandwiches for lunch. eat.gi+]

And anyone brave enough to keep wrenching till dinner, I'll order some pizza! I had a great Sicilian pie @ Shawn's before!

Check with North Westy

Just got off the phone with Dave, and he said that the geometry would be all wrong, since the control arms are different...

Looks like I'm going with Koni's...

Post by: 3Gear on March 06, 2014, 10:08:59 am: Good News, I had George G review my parts pile and plan last night, and got a big thumpup)-

Discussed the few remaining items to purchase, it was a good feeling to have my plan & efforts validated by a third person. Shawn already let me know I was on target. clap2-* But, like a doctor a second opinion is not a bad thing!
