That sucks, I hope you find work soon, I'm very worried about losing my job, thankfully a client just ordered 9 servers...
I should come out to your place sometime, looks like a wicked sick drive... I need to put my oil cooler back in though... Stupid dual valve springs heat the crap out of the oil....

Everyone told me its not a good idea to daily drive an aircooled bug. I agree, if the engine has a distributor and you use cheap engine parts... OR you have an early car without the decklid vents or you neglect to add an oil cooler with fan...

Not much has happened with the car since I lost my job but I dug her out of hibernation this week. Sand seal pulley was installed last fall on one of the last nice days before the rainy season. Over the winter the oil tank drained into the motor so I pulled the plugs to make turning over the motor easier and finally got the oil back into the tank. I did discover gas in the oil which could have been from the leaky injector o-rings but i didn't think it leaked this badly. Luckily the motor hasn't run with the contaminated oil, so I'll drain it and change the filters. Another problem I discovered was a dead lc-1 wide band controller. It was having problems before after a firmware update so I'll send it in for a replacement.
Now that nicer weather is back I can spend a little more time on her and hopefully she'll be back running again shortly.
