Making way on this car- keep at it!

[elrockk]

got the brakes bleed today using vacuum bleedertook 10 minutes. got the engine wired and runnining, it wont idle though so i think i need to open up the carb must be some Gak in the idle jet.got the gas tank in and welded the pakage tray to those things

[elrockk]

im looking into getting the drivers seat back in does the seat adjuster lever face the tunnel or the heater channel thanks

[Raj]

levers on seat face the channel, not the tunnel.

[elrockk]

Thanks Raj
.

[elrockk]

pulled the seat from the loft seems they both have the levers on the right side of the seat,but the tracks welded to the floor both have the teeth on the right track so i got the rusted mess off of the seat put the slides on

[elrockk]

got the seat installed and drove it into the garage under its own power. brakes

[Raj]

Its getting close!

[Tom]

Looks good, are you going to replace the tar board or install a different sound deadening product ?

[elrockk]

i have the original tar board but forgot toput it in before installing the engine Tom. im sure it will be in and out a few times

[elrockk]

got in the garage today mad hot but i got some work done. made this for the L/F inner fender welded in patch panel after cutting out rust going with spot welds then weld the edges

[elrockk]

not going topay attention to the A pillar at this time,i have replacements for the future

[elrockk]

i have a question if anyone knows. the car wont idle it did idle run when i removed it i see there is an idle air adjustment screw on the left side of the carb does anyone know what the starting point for this would be like 2 turns out or more mine was at 6 turns out i put it to 2 but it still wont idle think i might have a air leak at the intake? also my carb has 2 screws on the left a small one which i think is the idle air screw and a large one that i have no idea what it does

[Big_kid]

What carb are you running? The 34PICT3 has a solenoid on the left side that needs power or it won't idle.

[elrockk]

ill check that thanks

[elrockk]

i checked that solenoid its working properly, even took my new endoscope for smart phone and looked inside to see all was clear. i found a video on you tube by VW Darren that said to check the idle jet by the choke adjuster and sure enough it was plugged so now shes idling on her own installed a new air filter and a new shifter

[elrockk]

i adjusted the carb by ear and tommorow ill bring home my tach and do it correctly by rpm

[Big_kid]

Kicking ass and taking names- coming together nicely!

[elrockk]

first burnout in the driveway looks like its got a posi welded the rf to the heater channel made a patch piece to fill in the hole got it fitted

[elrockk]

got it fitted and welded in then ran out of mig gas

[elrockk]

so figured why not paint the inner fenders with some rustolyem and maybe get the front fenders backon tomorrow

[B MAN]

great work man



keep at it

[Big_kid]

Runnin' drivin' and smokin' tires! Love it!

[elrockk]

got some time today got 2 broken bumper bolts out i tried to weld a big nut to the broken bolt but broken bolt 2 gene 0 so i went old school and drilled and tapped them out

[elrockk]

pretty much finished welding the front patch panels in and put another coat of rustolium on the inner fenders
