crap my 911 is a 87 ragtop. i am only facing a :

complete a/c update(everything as zoomy as it gets) as its now gonna be 107F today and we can see some real temps out the vents. this is only about a week away from doing.

and some lil door dinger scratches taken care of at amigos body shop. and I AM DONE! FINISHED! NO MAS NO MORE UPDATUMS GEFIXINS for a long damn time. its been a very long labor of love as every stinking GRUPPE and I MEAN EVERY STINKING GRUPPE from stem to stern has been addressed. down to the last stinking bushing/ bearing/nut bolt washer. the only thing i didnt do was split the case on the gawd daMN THING AS IT ONLY HAD 121k when we pulled motor and tranny.

yes i am crazier than bat poo. and my bunghole HURTS because my wallet is mucho LIGHTER!


but we saw a damn 89 4x4 pop top westy low miles all the zoommy crap on it, perfect paint body zero rust not a rock dinger anywhere and he was asking FREEKING $54,000 peso dollares USD!


we about keeled OVER! and poo'd ourselves silly. for a freeking vanagon????



yeah cult vehicle no doubt. and a hell of alot of werk to make them RIGHT.


and parts are............well you know that already, are a PITA!

i think we got the very last known to mankind digital clock for the westy 4x4 we found going thru our local north snobbsdale az VW u.s. dealer search.



when somebody says to us the most moronic statement of the century "WELL ITS ONLY A VW", we generally want to tear them LIMB FROM LIMB in a very slow manner. because its a GIANT 911 with even longer a/c lines and to top it off................its a gawd damn wasserboxer 911 to beat you into submission and break yer wallet and generally have its way with you until the fat lady sings.



we got a ton of moola into this . i mean a ton. just painted it original burgandy/champagne er whatever the krauts call it. we are afeared of calculating all the receipts.


but the one thing we didnt blink an eye on was the wasser(water) hoses all new clamps fittings water pump starter alternator gasketsetc etc etc etc while yer in ders. etc.


when ya end up getting all the wasser(H2O) back in it, wait til ya have to bleed all the freeking air out of the system!

jack vanagon up at front. way high with blocks. then make yerself a lil hose that fits into bleeder on side of radiator to pour water in. then jack up vehicle at rear. fire engine. then let run for a bit. let down off jack and check coolant level again. if not enough, then jack front up again and repeat adding water in. use the aluminum friendly antifreeze 50/50% with DISTILLED WATER/H20/WASSER!


it will take awhile to do this. there will be a hell of alot of air introduced to entire system when taking all apart. you sure as hell dont want to even try this on side of road when something craps out.


was it worth it all? hell yes! you ought to see the crowd this damn westy gathers now, when buzzing around. and it buzzes along pretty nice except..........HILLS!
