Well it is that time of year, and for a early Christmas Present, I had to swap the Transmission out on the Green car as the internals for reverse busticated..........So Chris, and I got it swapped out and finished at 1:30pm yesterday, as I was under pressure as I needed 3 cars..... Chris and I drove...

To all those of us that Served and returned, and to those that had love ones that never returned we and I are forever in your Debt. The sacrifices that we had had to endure and overcome will always be a reminder of the title Veteran. From one of my many adventures….. https://i3.photobucket.com/album...

There are clean and clear take-aways on your steering wheel if you remove it because of the advent of the airbag that you have to follow, but you don't have to remove it to check the position of the lower bearing or to shove it back up in place.

That is usually a sign that the lower steering bearing has moved out of position. At the bottom of the outer shaft if you see a white or yellowed thing that is sticking out, then push it back up in place and hold in position with wire ties and or a hose clamp, and consider it a permanent fix. You ca...

I would do the Static timing as outlined in Ron's tutorial. You set the base time, then use a DVOM to adjust it. Way easier than the way the Bentley states, and it is usually spot on and only requires one person. https://www.reflectionsandshadows.com/cabby/static-digi.html VW's hate vacuum leaks.......

From the connector and the location those I suspect are the wires out of the back of the Heater control panel RH side. But I thought those were brown and blue/gray. I don't remember a connector with Brown and black wires in it behind the dash in that location other than I said for the illumination o...

Well it only took about 3 hours to strip the interior, and top off the car.......so know I only have to change over the rims.

All parts are being donated to my 92. The rolling shell should be at pull-a-part next week.
After about 2.5 hours work I have the interior out, and the top is free save for the 2 headliner straps.

At least my Green one will be getting a new interior and hood better rims and bits.

Yes the air-bagged model was for 3 years, but the 89 model year glass will fit with the clips taken out and a new seal.

Got one less plastic part now it is so pretty and well packed for shipment I really don't want to put it on.

That is called a Bonding wire. It places the Hood at the same potential as the frame. Is it needed? Well in the days of non-resistor plugs, and wires it would cause a motor boat effect in the Radios of the day. (you could hear the engine rev) It isn't really needed, but you can make a new one using ...

My LLW Alternator that I replaced just had a semi-failure. The Case screws that hold the body together had a strippage from the re-builder. One of the Case screws backed out due to strippage and started to hit the Alternator fan. A 4.5mm Nut wasn't replaced on the screw on the back, so I added 3 mor...

I'll take a look at etka. I wish I could find my copy. It disappeared. As for cardone crap, never. Last time I did I hit my house due to no brakes on a "new" master. Been there on that one, had 2 reman ones bad off the shelf for a Dodge I was working on. Only buy new, then again that isn't a guaran...
