Go Dan, go!
Here are some pictures of your trans in the works.
These drums were stuck!
This thing was pretty haggard inside, lots of bad parts:

Super cool! Working as hard I can to get the underside ready!

Dan,
I was going through the piles of crap at the old shop and came across a surprise for you.
The rear bumper from your bus!
Are you going to CTS?
I could bring it along.

Yes yes and yes. Think it will fit in the Subaru with a transmission? If not, I think one of the guys can take it back to DC?

Are you or any of the DC boys going to Mannheim on April 26th?
I could bring it there.

trying to get the underside ready done, so I can install the transmission when I get it.
You know what no-one ever emphasizes enough here on samba.....that grinding, welding, and working on your back is THE WORST!!

Big shout out to Lance who came over and helped my lift the beam into place, with two people it only took 10min for us to get it into place.
Before:
After:
Any advice on how to get the inner spacer on?
Next is brake shoes, install shocks, and put the drums on. I spent most of my day hammering out the racers and installing new ones.

That man is a beast, probably could have done it in 5min if you weren't in the way

Brass drift or piece of tubing... same way you'd install a rear wheel bearing

Did some cleaning up
Is this after market or did vw contract out steering boxes? Anyone know what this is?

They came out pretty good. Russ suggested that when I put them on the bus for the first time, to turn the lugs on and off a few times to rough up the power coating. This helps the lugs stay on and don't come off, sounds logical to me. I may sand the lug areas a little bit to speed up the process.

Looking great Dan!
I hope you have a jar of anti sieze for all those assemblies you're assembling.
I went through one full container of NAPA copper anti sieze when I did my bus last year.

Got the Nexens mounted!
First time the front end had felt the affects of gravity in about a decade?
It was such an awesome feeling seeing this hit the ground!
Spent the rest of the afternoon hammering in hub cap clips...What a PITA!!!
