Minor Update on my progress as of late: I'm quite proud of my old girl so I thought I'd share. In the last couple of months I've replaced all the seals in the engine, replaced the clutch/pressure plate/thrust bearing, redone the carpet, fixed the minorly rusty floorboard and por-15'd it, fixed my rear deck (that was not too pretty), replaced all the window seals, gotten new 4.5" chromies mounted, lowered the front 1 notch, and gotten the windows lightly tinted. We just got back from a 1000 mile (round) trip to Tennessee for Bugapaluza 4 and she purred like a kitten, didn't loose more than a couple of drops of oil the whole trip, ran cool the whole way, running about 70-75 mph (I did stop every hour and a half or so and open up the engine cover just to let her cool down), we had a great time. My S.O. even decided that she didn't mind so bad and was kind of pleased with Nelly (that is until the 6th our or so in the heat of the day, when she realized she wasn't used to a car with no A/C). I thought I'd show off a couple of pictures if anyone is interested: http://thinkaccess.net/~vwherb@thinkaccess.net/travissub/miscpics/t3-frnt-dr v.JPG http://thinkaccess.net/~vwherb@thinkaccess.net/travissub/miscpics/t3-rear-dr v.JPG I have also made my own rather discrete little jab at VWoA, please don't bother to click on the following link if you are easily offended, it borders on bad language. http://thinkaccess.net/~vwherb@thinkaccess.net/travissub/miscpics/vwoamessag e.JPG There are more pics of my interior and I'll be doing a show coverage of Bugapaluza on my website if anyone would like to check that out soon.
