I will have to get a few more parts at the pick and pull later. In the mean time, I am really looking forward to tomorrow!

Hey, Paul, you're almost done!

Late afternoon and only a chance. Even if it rains a bit, my yard will stay firm enough to park without a problem.

Managed to get new bearings on the front hubs today and even wash her. No time for wax or armor all, but the chair and parts are all loaded. See everybody tomorrow!

Bodhi is washed and waxed ... just need to clean the interior and polish the chrome. This is the first year I haven't had to work the day before the GTG but I still am doing everything at the last minute.

I've gotten out of work and will be able to come

Should I bring the Passat or the SDL... hmm...

Part request: does anyone have a spare vacuum switch assembly for the GenII ACC? It's actually a lot like the one you can see above... the row of solenoids with all the vacuum lines going to them.

That might be in my box o' fun along with other vacuum parts (1982 w126) but I'm not sure, I'll throw the box in and catch you there.
