I was working the car Thursday making the final adjustment on the passenger door. When it started getting dark out, I cleaned up everything, put the tarps on and secured them with 3 cargo straps. Friday it rained and today I got ready to install the side carpeting and when I pulled the tarps off both floorboards were filled with water about 1/4…[Read more]

Going out on a limb here but except for how the headlight bracket attaches to the fender, all the various kits attach to the grille frame the same way…i.e. by one large bolt. Can you not loosen that bolt and allow the fender to drop/droop downward to the height needed and then tighten the bolt thereby securing the fender at the correct or nearly…[Read more]

Does the shroud have the centerpiece in it? If you install the liner, wouldn’t that prevent ram air from reaching the radiator? I only ask because I have the VW kit and my shroud fits snuggly behind the front grille.

Vicenc. Glad you and yours stayed safe. And glad no damaged from the storm. My sister-in-law stayed in Palm Beach. Lost a couple of roofing tiles but made it through okay. Lost power for a day but she still hasn’t TV or internet.

I was on base yesterday at lunch time and there was a crew from Nevada having lunch there. Compliments of the base personnel I’m sure. By this morning they are probably on the way to either Savanah or to Florida. Lots of truck convoys headed to Florida down I-75 and I-95.

Don’t forget that when you get the new or rebuilt generator installed you will have to “flash” the generator to set up its magnetic properties in the windings. Simple job that some folks forget about.

Thanks for the good info. Toller, I like the idea of that checklist. Perhaps you can dig it out and post it here on the forum. It definitely sounds like something we can all use.

As for bleeding the brakes, this is the second time in a year I’ve had to do this. Air appears to be seating into the closed system. With all the bleeders and metal…[Read more]
