Started refurb of DrawTite hitch that was on my 68 donor bus. It is still etched that it was for 68-71 VW Bus and Trk. Bolts were rusted and needed to be cut off. Will be nice to have on the Bus when I get out of storage in a few weeks.
I also ordered a tow bar from Jeremy this week. He is nice to work with. Not really project but is for the bus. _________________ 1970 7 Pass/Riviera/Westfalia - Ours

Awoke Gumby from three and a half month sleep. Rocked him out of his rut but still to much snow around him to get on road. Maybe Tuesday. |

If not, then I also laid out, organized, measured and started aligning fabric patterns for the soon to be made curtains, cushions and headliners. All part of (or soon to be part of) the sundry tales of constance, already in progress.
Thanks for your advice and comments and keep on keeping on. _________________ 1979 Westfalia DELUXE 2.0 FI manual

If you load the parts from the side. Tape a box over where the cabinet door goes.
Plug the ends of the tubes so you don't get grit inside the tubes.
Good Luck
