The manifold is used but good, took it to the glass beeder, ck'ed the riser pipes, and a little paint. I really started the job to replace the rubber boots, the right one was cracked. so I figured while I'm there, change the splitters, and for $15 found a new intake. The risers on mine were really pitted. Next reinstall the carb and the rest of the sheet metal.

I wiped the bird droppings off the hood and drove the FinkWagon to work -- again.  Funny ... the VP's got pictures of Ferraris on his wall.  I've got VW ads on mine.  Guess who drives the dream daily!  See everyone at Englishtown!

Not today.... but last weekend attempted to install new W/S seal on SunBug and tore the seal!  #banghead ?/banghea?/

must have been made in china.

at least glass is ok.

FYI solid window seals (cal look) are much skinnier than original seals.  I might have to buy new one from WW.

Fitted fenders to Nigel checking quarter to fender lines! All lined up very nice after the metal and skim coats were done. Trying to decide which fenders to use, stock or 3" Creative Car Craft. Have to get the body back on the pan and tires mounted to see!

Celly, I'm waiting to see how you do with this, before I start on MugBug...
