Re: [T3] Fuel line to engine
<x-html><!x-stuff-for-pete base="" src="" id="0" charset="iso-8859-1/macintosh">Slaymaker!<br><br>I still consider myself a bus girl, and I kept all my bus t-shirts when I sold Wendelin. I never shoulda let her go.... I just haven't been the same since then. :-( I still get the type2 list in digest form, even though I don't read it very often. But yeah, too many cats, no time to camp.<br>
<br>
I can't live without an ACVW! My boyfriend's Baja Bug and Single Cab just don't fill that need.<br>
<br>Back when I had my first, a '71 Bug (1983, Connecticut), a coworker called it "a cult car." I guess he was right! I switched that out for a '72 Squareback in 1986. I drove and loved that car until 1988, when I traded it in so the boyfriend-at-the-time could get a "cool" car after I bought an '87 Suzuki Samurai, which I drove (all the way to California) and loved for over 15 years.<br>
<br>I got Wendelin ('73 Adventurewagen) as a 40th birthday present to myself in 1999. I had always dreamed of having a bus. Good times. She was such a brat. Always something breaking down on road trips. I called her "my retirement home."<br>
<br>Then there was the '69 European Westy that I rescued and Dolan bought and drove cross-country to VA. He says it's the best-running of the three buses he's got right now, which isn't saying much if you know VW people!<br>
<br>
I'm really excited about getting another Squareback! Having a '70 makes
the set complete: 69 T2, 70 T3, 71 T1, 72 T3, 73 T2.<br><br>Tomorrow I just need to fix
the immediate fuel leaks, plonk a plate on her, sneak her across town
to my boyfriend's, which is right around the corner from Wayne at
A&D Buggies, and he'll give her new hoses, a tune-up, oil change,
etc. for the drive out to Banning to become my daily driver and new
hobby. And much hilarity will ensue when my landlady finds out I've got another VW!!!<br>
<br>Mwaaahaaaahaaa!<br><br>Nikki<br><br>P.S. So Jim Adney's the parts guy around here. You will be hearing from me, sir, yes indeedy! :-)<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats. -- Albert Schweitzer
