Julie's Scirocco day

[sukchew at suddenlink.net (Chuck Blue)]

Wow! You are getting an early start today.We won't even recognize Victor 
when you are finished.And yes carpet is much nicer than the Blacktop.
   What was Victors running problem when you were at track day north?I am 
curious about such things for obvious reasons.
       I just got rose back on the road after the trio to Cincy.When I left 
the ignition on it not only wiped out the coil it also took out the MSD 
box.I had to send it to MSD for repair.It developed an unstable capaciter or 
some such thing.while that was being done I sent the Mallory Dist. in for 
repair of a bent shaft which was caused when I installed a 1.7 Dist in a ABA 
block.I found out the hard way that the drive gear on the dist. shaft has to 
be shortened by almost a 1/4 inch.I finally got everything back together but 
the mileage sucks so Sue will be my driver today. We are going to take a 
long tuning run today in preparation for our 6th annual trip to the Eureka 
Springs VW show.This year we will be taking the Cal bug with hopes of 
selling it. I need the money so I can start the newest project,a 1965 
Transporter.I also just bought a 74 standard Bettle that I hope to flip.All 
at once I have way to many Cars,six ,four that are licesened.
  I think I am about ready to tackle the MSnS project. As slow as I am about 
this kind of thing it probably will take untill Cincy when I can get some 
expert help.Things got a little side tracked this year with my running 
problems and Dan's nose.

Later my friend,
ole blue

I cant believe I actually vacumned the garage, small stones and all. It has 
macadam for the floor and has horrible pointy stones.... After that, I laid 
some old carpets under where Victor will stay (makes being under him a LOT 
nicer on the back). (Sounds like TMI, but its not....)

2 sheets of hung 4mil plastic form a room that I can cut the paint off the 
hood, trunk lid and doors, getting ready to prime. I am 1/2 way through 
doing the spare hood and the trunk lid is stripped and prepped ready for 
paint stripping.

I did find, however, if the paint is not sealed well, a power washer can 
remove LARGE sections of paint. A large section of the DS rear Q and the PS 
front fender and door are stripped. Pics later tonight.

Is 6:50 am to early to go out and start the compressor?
