Rattle can it without prep. The rust'll be back in no time at all.

Here's a picture as promised, a little late but whatever. Getting gas for the first time with my new border collie. She loves riding in the bus almost as much as I do!

Went to the DMV to get my VIN verified and have my YOM plates assigned, but the lady doing the VIN verification said she had to mark it as a commercial vehicle because I don't have my rear seat in. So now I'm off to temporarily put my z bed in the back then go back again. DMV, you suck.

Got the z bed in, took it back to DMV for another VIN verification and the guy said that pre 65 VW's dont show the year via the VIN so he could put the year down as 0000 and give issue me new plates or I could go to the nearest VW dealership to have them verify the year, then go back to DMV and have my YOM plates assigned. I ended up going to the dealership, met a very knowledgeable service department manager who has a 64 Sundial and 67 Kombi who had his buddy with a VIN verification license come out and do the verification. So 3rd times the charm, going in tomorrow to finish things up. I'll say it again, DMV, you suck!

Broke down. Lots of backfiring and funky oil pressure. Valves tightened up (so I thought). Readjusted valves after the tow home. It ran for a few seconds then died. Funky oil pressure again. I'm thinking I sheared a cam gear bolt or two. Crying or Very sad

I'll pull the oil pump cover and check the oil pump gear drive to see if it is jacked up. Then I'll pull the pump. I'll order some low profile hardened allen head cam bolts just in case.

I was having speedo troubles this spring - the needle was slow to move and would stick wherever it felt like. I had a speedo on the shelf from previous wrecking yard adventures so I tore it down, cleaned it up and reset it to 00000 and installed it. It works very well. GPS confirms its accuracy.

You'll note that its in Kilometers per Hour, not MPH, which is a bonus for me, as everything here in Canada is metric.

Oh so shiny. Ya, I know, the mirror is missing, waiting for new glass to be cut to reinstall. There's always something to do....
