Good werk Rob and crew!
All part of the fun of owning an old vehicle is getting to fix it.

Re: Just purchased this '66 Split California Roadrunner Camper
Been slow going because of multiple (non-VW) projects all going at the same time, but here's where we are:
The motor is done, runs perfect, has about 8 hours run time on the run stand, oil changed, valves reset and ready to rock. Note the frost on the intake, that day was about 45 and humid, the perfect weather for carb icing. Tranny was done from Jim's (warranty job ) and we put the axles and RGBs back on it. We stuck the trans and motor back in but the weather turned on us yesterday so we were only able to loop it around the yard in the pouring rain. When Rob has a day off and it's dry we'll give it a true RT, but it sounds and feels good right now. My buses don't need anything right now, working on the Vettes at the shop, overhauling the engine in the 67 and some minor stuff on the 63.
Btw, I'm retired now. We signed the papers last week and I no longer own Turbo Training. Yay!!
See you soon!
