Eddie, re your VW clutch problems

1) make sure that your pressure plate does not have any debris lodged "behind" the spring fingers/tines.

2) make sure that the disc that gets "pushed" by the release rod is not worn, bent, or otherwise malformed.

3) make sure that your clutch cable is installed and adjusted correclty--you DO have an adjustable cable no? Roughly 1 to 1 and 1/4" of free movement at the pedal before it begins to disengage....

We have had each of these problems before.

Nothing. Again. Watching my bank account diminish and 4 mouths to feed (now only job is 'part-time' navy pilot in the Reserves). Also too much running (marathon training) and martial arts training to be able to justify then spending the night in the garage (when my wife is with two babies all day)! How do you do it JV (and others)?

Merkur sits with new intercooler/radiator installed. New front end fascia in the hatch, T5 bell waiting, Supra diff waiting. It's sorta depressing.

Can't wait to get back to it though. TSS fab and JV have lotsa goodies. I think the next is the altenator/PS pump relocation and then finish intercooler/radiator plumbing. Then start working brakes suspenders and exhaust.

Thanks for the thread...I need it to re-stoke the motivation!

I fired up the Merkur on Monday. Plates expired back in September and didn't catch it. Have to get it legal so I can drive it to pick girl up from airport in a few weeks when she comes out to visit me.
The custom control arms are designed and being analyzed. Will probably build the first one in about two weeks.

In Vegas on the way back from India.
Technically I met her while she was waiting in line for a bathroom at a punk rock show.

Also check that the alignment dowels are in the transmission. Without those it can be bolted in off enough to mess things up.

Me too, about punk rock girls, not about red heads.
I also realized the other day I've never dated a white girl. Well not since I was like 15 anyhow.

Wait a minute...The Merkur will get you laid but the Starlet won't??? What is the world coming to...

Today I final-fitted my 'new' main hoop into the body shell. I made cardboard templates for the rear shock tower reinforcements, which is where the rear rollcage stays will be attached to, and figured my firewall configuration as well. Also test-fitted my driver's seat to the car, and got my final seating position figured (I think?).

I have a set of 9a pistons if you are interested. All you gotta do is pay for shipping

Keller williams sings a song about this. goes a little something like this:

**I fell in love in the portapotty line
In the parking lot of some show
She was dancing round clutchin herself
She was waitin for her turn to go**

I knew right away that I was in love
And she was the one for me
I could not tell if she felt the same way
But I know that she had to pee

to bring this post on topic...

preped set of lower control arms for boxing. Aired tires, fired her up n put er in the garage...baby steps
