New Vallero tranny build for Hugo (1963 bug with 2185cc)

Vallero's VW Werks · Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2015 7:48 am Post subject: Diff rotating another way

Good observation, Bruce, thats one less thing in my set up that I do not have to change. Dawn, does a good job reporting on what I tell her.

The Master has reacted this point from years of doing things.
Most of my students, not being born yet, when I began working on VWs , have this thing about any fault they can fine in the Master. (This is very common with the student; to be noticed is paramount )
So Lets move on now.

Hi everyone. I have some very sad news. Ray had a massive heart attack yesterday at the shop. He was resuscitated twice and has not regained consciousness. They have put in into a hypothermic state to help increase his odds of survival/brain damage/organ failure. At this point, I am asking for prayers and believe in the power of prayer. I will update the forum with any developments.

Thank you for your support.
