The Turning Point
After spending the last two days trying to salvage parts off of a rusty has been car, I realized that if I was at my job, getting paid for the time I am taking to suffer through the painful, agony of twisting a bolt enough to break it causing my hand to forcfully slam into some very hard, rusty, sharp piece of metal, not once, but as many times as there are bolts, I would have been able to buy a brand new trans-axle. Since I was running out of patients, sanity and bandaids, I decided to give my $499.00 parts car to a friend. After all I did get a headlight assembly out of it.
So tday I have decided to buy a brand new, rebuilt, warrented, trans-axle assembly. I also got a Bently Bug Book, and all of the mounting gear necessary to make it work. Thanks to Greg and Nancy at Bugformance of Stockton, 1111 East Oak Street, Stockton CA 95205, Phone (209) 467-7777, I am getting expert advice on the VW. My friend Dave is going to haul away the old Bradley parts car and paint it for his kid to play on.
I am going to work with new or rebuilt parts from now on…at least that is the plan…
