Date: Tue, 7 Jan 1997 22:39:09 -0500 From: Charlie Ford Subject: Here I go Again Well folks, first let me say thanks for all the replies to this mornings post. I am not as depressed as it sounded, and was just being reflective somewhat on something that in all honesty is as much of a report on this trip as if i were going to break down my engine. I am fine, I was just feeling abit heavy from the nights dreams and needed to write about it. But now back to the really fun stuff. Getting greasy!!! hehehehehehahahahahahhehehehe Tomorrow I plan on rebuilding my front end. I have the priviledge of doing this mainly because of the benevolent spirit of Mr. Chris Chubb. It is a long story and if I told it to you I might would put him on the spot, and I certainly would not want to do that. Let me say just this. Chris is a good man, with a noble heart that can be compared and wieghed with the most noble of any world. Thanks Chris, I would nominate you for the nobel, but I am not sure they have one for the VW category. They damn sure should though! If there are any of you out there that know much about changing rotors, re-packing bearings, and installing pads, please give me your best pointers. i will be starting tomorrow about 12;00 est, and will check my mail before I start. of course I have my haynes manual, and I bought a new issue of "Humongos Ta Ta's", isn't that what Al Bundy reads?. I feel like I am ready, after if I can take an alternator out and put it back in, hell, I can do anything. After I finish this I will probably want to rebuild and engine or something. Anybody want me to start on theirs? I look forward to replies, for tomorrow I go bravely into that greasy place, and though I may bust a knuckle, I will "endeavor to persevere". thanks, Charlie "79" Transporter, dressed for the road The Mothership The"Turning 40 Nostalgic VW Service Tour, and Search for the Beginning of Wind". www.armory.com/~y21cvb/charlie/charlie.html "Wider still and wider.....shall thy bounds be set"
