Good morning :D
 
Morning still having low sugar issues. Woke up on the kitchen floor with a lump on my forehead.
I'm make my home made ice coffee and usual Sunday breakfast if I can stay standing.

Be careful. Hopefully you can rest and on track.
You should ask Fred about the time they landed that plane on his street!
Sounds like you have a story to share now Fred
Larry Fine from the stooges was a member of my aunts congregation.
In Philly. I met him when I was a very young man.
He got me in . All I will say is I'm dancing with a group of others on a stair case. Enough said.
Now I need to watch that scene more closely
Nice avatar.
Thanks I had an artist do it up for me.

Boy you guys were chatty this morning. I just caught up. I’ve seen enough bananas this morning to satisfy my potassium intake :rofl:
It’s never dull in here.
 
Gonna be starting a new restoration thread but with the Cummins being down and needing about 10k to rebuild, we’re gonna fix my w200 finally. My son and I pulled the engine this morning.

So.. cleaned my timing cover, and waterpump... all happy, gonna get ity together and paint the motor.. can't find 2 of those long *** waterpump bolts :( Gonna order a engine bolt kit so i'm not hunting for bolts non stop..

On the upside.. 2 and a half hours of scraping and powerwashing and my trans is finally clean :) It was sooo nasty.. halfundercoated and 1/2 of old grease. not the worst day :)
 
I'm learning how to be a Harley Davidson Tech. Got so much stuff apart, I hope I can get it all back in the right place. Spark plugs out, Carburetor and manifold off. ( will go inside of carb next ). Engine side covers off, seat off, horn off ( interfering with gas petcock, will relocate ). Left gas tank off. etc,etc,etc........ :lol:
 
What happened to it? I thought they lasted forever!!!:poke:
Well it’s the first stock one I’ve had let go. Out of the 8-9 I’ve owned. Sounds like a rod bearing let go. Probably from oil starvation when that head gasket let go.
 
I checked out the new rims. They fit well. I worked on the breaks this afternoon and hopefully the problem is fixed. We pulled the check valve on the booster and cleaned that out. I took it for a drive and it didn’t seem to be hanging up. So fingers crossed that is all it was. If not then I’ll replace the whole booster.

Guess I can let the cat out of the bag, Dart is going after Labor Day to the chemical stripper. Will be there about 3-4 weeks. Then home to be final prepped, primed and painted in October.

In the meantime, we’ve hopped over to this

Project 78
 
So a few weeks ago I sold my VW to carvana for 19900. Well, just found it for sale 22k Seems like a got a fair deal....
