I participated in the annual Halloween Day Parade in Media, Pa, along with the Delaware County Corvette Club and the DELCO Cruisers Car Clubs. Tossed out candies to the little ones and there was alot of pics taken along the route! Cecily Tynan of 6ABC was the Grandmarshall of the parade in her Tiger costume.. ROAR!!!!!

Installed shocks, brake lines, type III rear brakes, rear sway bar, rear trans output shaft seal and punched bolt holes in the pan gasket. The last 6 pictures show the latest work. Last two picts show why I choose type III rear brakes.

Bob,
Is that some type of clear brake line going to the wheels. It looks transparent. :confused04:;

Howard,
No, sorry, bad pictures. I think I was too tired to hold the camera still. I am uploading new pictures tonight.

Went through two cans of silicone spray. I sprayed the bejesus on any thing that moves or squeaked  on the MugBug. Got those heater cables soaked with special sauce, vent windows move nice now...used 12volt bulbs for a 12volt Mugbug, front headlights nice and bright now :)  

And then came the firewood delivery... after moving and stacking a cord and a half, I laid down on my custom concrete garage floor under the Mugbug.. seeing how my back seized up, I thought I'd spend some quality time staring up at MugBug.. Saw a decent oil leak .. Jackwagen is going to love this... I think I've got some pushrod seals leaking... :)

Just noticed after 5 years I'm missing a cooling tin...

Took Helga for a ride today, went over and had the 5 gal propane tank filled in prep for
the coming weekend Yuma Camp-Out and Show.  Added a half bottle of Octane 104 to
Helga's tank, to clean out the crud and cobwebs, worked great  2@@cool  She is again
idling nice and even.  :jump4jo":   

All the Snow-Birds are coming back Yuma for the winter, only got run off the road once 
this week  (Taz+)   censor++.gif   

Have back problems myself, concrete works well  &^beer&

Cleaned the shop today. too much junk (stuff) laying around after this week of working on the pan!
Must be a bad back day. Mine is hurting bad! Had to pull all pepper and tomato plants today. Last harvest before the freeze tonight! Had the best ever long hots this Summer!
25 degrees predicted here. Too early! Is it Spring yet?

Good Morning Jack  thumpup)-  5:40 am here

The one thing that grows in Yuma in the summer is cotton, lots of cotton !!! 

Now that the weather has cooled off ( only 63 this morning ) it is time to plant
our vegi gardens.  We can't do that in the summer heat  :confused04:;  Tomatoes
don't like 110 degree days.

Hope everybody came through the pre-winter storm on the east coast in good shape  doublethumb doublethumb

Although smoked and sun dried jerky is vary tasty    **^bana0

                              I think some club members should splinter off and create a Bad Back VW club - faction



  Then there are those who should form a NAD VW faction ......................





                                                      .... ( Nap All Day)   -  they know who they are......




                           ..................so what if I am jealous  &(rage_
