thanks chris, for posting that for me i was tripping outta my skull last
night.. too many bottles of "V" at trade school!
the white i used was sophia white, it was left over paint from a lancer i painted the other day.. really cleans up the side of the car, and makes it
look longer.. there are a few runs i have to cut out today :| but im very happy with the overall job
i was gonna drop ur flares off last week chris.. but as steve probably told ya, my missus rang up while i was at his place, i had forgotten we were
meant to go out for lunch.. so i had to take off ina hurry :S
i'll hafta come see you somtime too rob.. i need a horn haha!
anyways, off to school now.. cut out my runs, and give adolf a good cut/polish all over

Hey! Get that weber on your Bug, I wanna know how he goes! I think
I'm going to get electric ignition thingy for mine, seems like it would be worthwhile after the things I've read on other posts. And I'd like to
get an alternator too.
My pretty thing is going alright, she needs to have the idle adjusted a titchy bit though.... she's wanting to snooze when still at lights.
Otherwise, she's definitly got a case of blingingitus!!

You left the roof rack on for the drive up the Island? Wow, that would've taken the wind out of your salis! good bye fuel efficiency! Though yes, I
know it looks good.. but at what price....
that is the question

the alt and progressive weber have been sent away along with adolf to a makes place to be mated together.. and it's been nothing but trouble!
the alt stand wont go on, as my genny stand has an EXTRA pipe headed into the sump, think it's a semi-auto thing - think i'll just sell it.
had to have the manifold for the weber tapped to run the vaccume for the autostick to work, engineering joint took care of that,
and the weber was all corroded, it had been left for quite some time with fuel in it..
looked tip top from the outside, but FULL of rust inside..
my mate cleaned it out, and kinda got it running.. rough as, and it blows a foot long flame when u back off the accellerator. his garage has a
scorchmark on the wall now (zoom tube)
it's now being rebuilt and getting some smaller jets! so im Dubless for a little while longer.. driving my nannas daihatus applause around :repuke

to be more clear.. the carb didnt get sent off to be rebuilt/jetted.. mate at work and i found the primary throat was the one clogged. which prevented
idleing, would only run when revved high, as secondary throat opened up. we cleaned it all up, and tested with prepsol, both jets squirted
properly.
the car is now running, but only on 3 cylinders at low revs. lead and plugs rooted.. will get new ones tomorrow, and hopfully pick up the car tomorrow
aswell.
i have beentold it run, and really gets going.. but it does need smaller jets
getting exciting now

well today was good news bad news day..
more bad than anything.. atleast it drives it how i look at it
BAD
- fourth cylinder only kicks in with the pedal straight to the floor.
-jets too big - drinky drinky.. especially if u need floor it to get all cylinders working
-fuel lines had NO hose clamps on them (thank you volkspower:vader)
-leads look like theyve never been changed before (as above:vader)
-semi-auto solenoid looks like it is gonna fall from its mounts( im sure if the mob i used to take it to to get serviced gave a fuck this list would
be shorted.. god knows i handed over enough dosh. and dean if your reading, where the fuck are my runningboard trim clips? still waiting for you to
call)
-mate has his girlfriends brother's 20th b'day tonight
GOOD
- should be able to order all the parts thru work, and get it done tomorrow night MAYBE!

I reckon you should take little Adolf to Tucker Road Motors on North Road from now on, about 20 mins drive from you.
Dale is awesome, and has worked miracles with my 'lil PBB, gets the job done properly and not heaps of $$ like some are....
I'm sure he's had to learn a thing or two about semi-autos since I've been taking mine to him, but he knows his stuff!
Have a word to Eden, he knows a guy who can tune anything and everything, I think he's getting his carbies done there.

cool as laura!..
the alt stand couldnt go on, cos my genny stand has the fuel filler(normal) breather hose (normal), and then a solud hose into the sump. the alt stand
didnt have this third hose.. and i don't think plugging the sump really works :/
does PBB have the 3rd hose?
