Bad, realy bad

I hate when you F*#k up an easy job like swapping out a cam, by bending a bearing that has to have gears pressed on and off to change out! AAAHHHHHRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good thing I have a porsche garage across the street.

one step forward, two steps back

so, cleaned all the connections and ground leading to the rear lights and got the brake lights and blinkers working properly... after futsing around with the flasher wiring and rear light wiring for too long...



then, took it for a drive down the street... i knew the clutch engaged really high, but when i tried to shift into 3rd it slipped and slipped and finally got into gear... the guy i got it from said he replaced the clutch cable and that it needed adjusting... think that's it, or does it need a new clutch? hope not... oh well, back to the garage...

back to work

didn't have too much time this weekend, but got the license plate light hooked up and working as well as the horn (which sounds sweet!!)... blinkers in the rear aren't working again, might be part of the brake light situation... hope to have that worked out next weekend...

got invited to park the bug downtown for a "bug fest" at the science museum (for actual insects, but the local vw club parks bugs out front for fun)... don't think i'll be ready on september 12th!!!
