Installed new screen material in the Hightower screens since I finally found the clips to hold them in. Added a few mounts to my under seat storage. Lastly my crank spit out the stainless steel bolt and trashed the pulley. King was kind enough to send me a new one.

Picked up some new wiper arms, a new vent, inner sliding door handle, a vintage speed shifter and a King VW Pulley set, a couple used westy coat hooks at BBB. Then had a little mishap on the way home as my filter mount broke off. I safety wired it up and made it home. Once home I installed all the parts and made a new filter mount as well as picked up a used bike rack.
