monkbonk Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I need some translation help: Quote Link to comment
monkbonk Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Dunt worry you stumped nailroad titties, I've got some people on this here translating business right now. Here's a picture of my 2.0 liter pancake: So far, I've noticed: new coil new plugwires new injectors new alternator Throttle cable seems loose, so I'll correct that. Couple wires floating around and some missing hoses. I believe the vacuum system is fully intact, so that's a huge plus. I believe the PO was halfway through a heaterbox replacement. I'll finish where he left off. Quote Link to comment

I got very good at pulling that engine out though :devil: Quote Link to comment

monkbonk Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I hope I don't have to drop the engine out too many times. I've only had to drop my Beetle engine twice thus far (replace rear main seal, install trans mounts). Feeling lucky Here's my 73 Bay Window. Needs a lot of rust repair, but it's mainly concentrated in the front floor area, doglegs and areas around the windows. I'm planning on welding up all the side windows to make it a panel van and fixing the crappy doglegs after I get it running. It's currently just a roller: Quote Link to comment

monkbonk Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 omg that's awesome. The VW Bus has been the one car I've always wanted to own. I got to thinking that the 73 would be too big a project for me. That's why I jumped on the 78 (couldn't find a Datsun in that time). Found a VW junkyard near me, so I have access to parts and renewed inspiration towards my 73 to boot (though I was thinking about getting a lowlight with an type1 upright). Quote Link to comment
