Speaking of new/Old Vehicles I finally got the 1973 Squareback home and drove it for the first time since I owned it! Drove it 15 Suicidal Miles! hehehe. Well its yellow and i told you all about it a few times here and there and I never have time but here and there to say hey.! Well anyway when I was driving her home the front end was driving great no play, great brakes, killer engine running crappy because we just got the 73 so called up and running. you know. I replaced the oil radiator that someone that owned the car before me used their happy high speed cut off and retardedly choped OR I MEAN sawed off the rare tin around the oil radiator but half of it is still there! And So me the Volkswagen Human Survivor got the oil cooler off and replaced it with a Old stock garaged part from my ole friend joe that gets everyone out of their type 3 rutts some how. But anyway i was driving her home ok,. I thought that the back end felt kind of funny and when I changed lanes doing about 40MPH i suddenly heard the axle grinding into whatever it war grinding into. and the otherside also like when I was going around some bends that scared the hell out me. But the engine is fastend and the mounts are secure. So Im not sure if it would be a rear tortion problem or what. This car is solid and ready to get repainted. I just have to tare down the ass end down and figure what in the would the proble would be before I drive her back in to cleves (About 12 miles away to get painted. Oh yeah i forgot to mention to that the clutch was slipping real bad and so I think the rear main seal if trashed in the motor because there was mass (MASSIVE QUANTITY) of oil running down the road from when I turned the car off and it only leaks out after you run it for a minute. So you know I have a few problems to deal with. I need some serious advice on the rear end though because I mean the hole back of the car was moving with the gravity pull of my turn and is definitely not normal nor have I ever experienced this problem. So let me know. Check out my Web >From Chris Swafford:www.geocities.com/motorcity/garage/4265/ 537Buckeye 36LSB S.W.
