                        Matt, which parts of PA might those be where the engines are so clean you could eat off them?






 It's not the engines are clean, it the manner of people..... whistleegi






   Shawn,
    That is one nice set-up!  All you need is a kitchen, bathroom and bed (cot - you got)  then why come in the house?
     Sell the house and put the money into your VW's!  clap2-*



 Glen, get that all cleaned up and we'll see how it stands.... Also I think you need to flair up that plaque with rust----m!

The LoveBus broke down today bawlin)0

I filled her up with gas this morning and on the way home she shut down on me, would run for one second and shut right back down.

I have been testing a new automatic fuel shut-off valve that would stop all fuel from daring out of the tank in case of fire or if you had a bad fuel line brake. It worked very good for the past month but today it failed and wouldn't let the fuel pass at all. I thought I was on the right path to saving a lot of VW's from burning to the ground and I still think I am but..........

Back to the drawing board. &(rage_

Packed the bus full of camping chit, filled it up (Mostly) with gas. Put some shiny tire goo on the tires. Got a boom box to keep Matt happy on the way up.

Dressed up the wiring in the engine compartment and installed new tarboard insulation. Installed new engine compartment seal. Waiting for the firewall bellhousing seal.
Then everything will be ready for the engine which should be ready any year now  &(rage_ Twenty days going on fifty.
