SJVWC Overhaulin'
« on: September 30, 2011, 10:34:52 am »
Remember when we all went to Jacks and attacked his nearly finished Volksrod? That car sat for a long while because Jack felt overwhelmed. We all showed up and pitched in and got that car ready for primer in 1 day.

BeetleBoi neede to stop all the leaking in Bridgette and we decended like locust and pulled the engine, cleaned & resealed it, installed trans & body seals and reassembled all in one day.

These jobs would have taken weeks of nights & weekends for them to do.

This winter SJVWC will be doing our own version of Overhaulin' on members cars. I'm making the TajMaGarage available for the SJVWC Overhaulin' Series. Several members are already in line and we might be able to do a few more. The car owners will supply coffee & donuts & lunch (I'll supply the grille, fryer, smoker, whatever we need) We'll video the whole thing for SJVWC's Youtube page.

First up is Greg. His Cabrio is in need of a head gasket. The plan is to get the car in and pull the head replace the head gasket, water pump timing belt and the usual suspect parts. If the head needs to be decked there'll be a Part 2 the following weekend.

Second up is Dave (Daverted). Daves Convertible Sunbug has been almost done for over a year! It needs a few minor apots welded up and sanded and the fenders need to be reinstalled. The motor is already out and just needs a few things cleaned up and we'll pop it back in. We may attempt to install the new convertible top if time permits that weekend.

Third is Marc (VWNutt). Marc is a watercooled guy that wants an aircooled in the worst way. I made a deal with him and swapped the Cabriolet for that Super Beetle I had (my daughter is overjoyed!). The Super is completely dismantled. We will get the welding done ahead of time and then the Overhaulin' crew will come in and try to reassemble the Super in record time.

Jack and I will head the advance team to asses the cars and get a parts list together. We'll work with Action and the membership for anything that might come up last minute.  If you would like help with your car PM me (or Jack) and we'll see if we can get you on the list.

We'll post the dates on the calendar as soon as we nail them down. Gregs head gasket is coming up in just a few weeks

This winter's going to be a blast.

I may need to be placed on that list too at some point in the near future...   }dunn--   #@rofl3     And I agree it's a great idea.  Like a big family pitching in to get things done ..

This is a great idea, and I would be happy to help, as long as I'm free for the dates.  Ok project one...Greg's Cabriolet... OK....Where are we doing this and when?

I just had to reread this again because I thought Greg needed a head gasket, not brakes. :)
Ok, so Greg is holding off doing this work, I got it.

This is a cool idea!

Planning for the 15th of October, paycheck comes on Friday the 14th which doesn't really help me much for Saturday. I'll have to see if I can figure something out. I'll let you know by Monday the 9th. Would love to take this to E-Town on the Sunday, especially since it's a huge *cough* water-cooled swap show.
