It's going to be 30ftX50ft with double rollup door and a single rollup door on 1 side and a single rollup door on the other. Plus windows and walkin doors. Heated & A/C of course. Building should go up in the next several weeks. On the back side of the building will be a 10 ft overhang the entire width of the building. Am also digging a pond about 50 yards behind the building. Keeping me busy. Living on top of a mountain means there is no level building sites. You have to scrape and fill to even come close to level. Randy |

Putting together my 1600DP, so far everything is going together nicely. hopefuly longblock is going to be done this week. It's mostly stock except for fullflow, berg oil sump and exhaust. Once i get it installed and running I am planing on building custom intake for weber 40 DCOE carb. This is my first, so it's a bit stressful. Anton |

I managed to replace the window channels and scrapers before the rains came but I must have screwed it up some how. It takes about 20 pounds of force to slide the glass up and down. For now it's keeping the rain out so I'll leave it alone. I'm not going to install the new window lift because I think it'll bend under the load of forcing the glass up. Another thing that has me PO'ed is the new wing window latch I bought broke less than a day after I put it in. It was the only part of this job that wasn't from West Coast Metric. I trusted the local VW shop to sell me a good part... Anyway I'm looking at redoing the entire project and I hope to figure out where I went wrong next time. Tony |
