Moving forward on multiple fronts… In an effort to identify any items that I’ve not thought about yet, a bit of mocking things up has started. I had some bits and pieces that I needed to start to go through and make sure things were going to work. And if not, start to figure...

I wouldn’t mind picking up a set of liners to run. So I poked my head under there a bit more closely to see how things looked. I had looked prior to cleaning, but didn’t really look once I could see everything better. Here are a few shots of the inside front fenderwells… Drivers...

A bit more progress on things… I just got notification today from Superflex that my control arm and rear differential bushings will be shipping finally. I think I placed the order mid-February. I ordered them for the stamped arms, but also have some forged arms that I was thinking about using. I may need...

Micro-update This is good for another 30 years, right?…this thing is ALL original…or WAS before I got to it… 😀 I guess it’s not quite like replacing one in a B3/4 after the fact, but while I’m in there… Time to get to the wiring…harnesses laid out for re-identification.

I went underneath and pulled all of the heatshields so the bottom could be more thoroughly cleaned...

Well, sometimes decisions have a way of making themselves. It came to my attention that the coilovers and hubs from the 4K were actually available as the original sale fell through. And being frugal to the point of stupidity, and for the right price, I figured I could make at least pieces of it...

A little more catching up on some past progress. Early last summer, around May or so, I started pulling the engine from the urq. As mentioned before, this experience was a major deciding factor in going 20VT. Anyway, here are some pics of a few days of wrestling parts free, and pulling the head...

Finally got a little of the white stuff flying, but we’re still way behind. This was part of about 30” that came down over two days last week. Still way behind for the year, though. Still not ready to switch from the ‘rock skis’ yet as it is still pretty thin in spots. And...
