Painting Vanagon Parts
by brian @ 19:51:47 - [perma-link]
Josh and I cleaned up some more VW parts and gave the exhaust and
main engine mount some new paint. The exhaust looks ridiculously
better than when it was dirty, rusty metal. The crossbar looks a lot
nicer, definitely nice enough to hang under a 20 year old van.
Parts should arrive early next week!

My new puppy!
by brian @ 20:20:05 - [perma-link]
Connie and I drove up to Prosser, WA (heard of it?) to check out some
Cattle Dog puppies. This mostly black dude is the one I'm getting.
The bigger white dog is the mother, Cookie. They showed us all 3
boys, but I knew I wanted the black one. All of the puppies were
friendly and social, and Cookie just kept licking me.
I get to go pick him up in a couple of weeks. I can't wait!

Got a Vanagon!
by brian @ 19:09:07 - [perma-link]
Nikki and Josh found a great "2 for 1" deal on a couple of VW Vanagons, and I offered to split it with them, taking the one that had been a work truck, rather than the nice interior. Not bad for $250!
Josh thinks we'll get them both going without too many new parts. I'll use it to tow my Mutant Vehicle to Burning Man and for camping while I'm there.

This is the interior of their van, and the exterior of both. The interior of mine is similar, but without the jumpseats, curtains, table, and a few odds and ends. Oh and mine is more "moldy".
We pulled all the accessories off the motor and drained the coolant. Its ready to be pulled, probably this weekend.

Breakfast

Connie and I went out with Josh and Nikki and Nikki last night. We slept late, missed the dog play date, and now we're having breakfast.

I got a Harley Davidson gas-powered golf cart. It will be the basis for a burningman art car.

Engine Teardown
by brian @ 19:23:00 - [perma-link]
Josh and I spent a couple of evening pulling parts off the Charger's motor. Pretty much everything is off now, evcept the driver's side head and the rotating assembly.
Most of what is off isn't going back on. Lots of new aluminum parts and electric pumps instead of the mechanical. Lighter, stronger, faster!
