I shall do my best to clean and orderly. Now where'd I put those rags?

I am sure Colin will not soon forget the engine installation for my 74 Westy in the cold and rainy days of October 2004. The outdoors, the leaves, the rain. Sterile it was not.Amskeptic wrote:May all of my insecure fellow VW aficionados take a breath.

Working in a clean tiled engineering lab, you wipe the crankshaft journal before assembly lubing and placing the connecting rod upon it.
Working in the trash strewn laundromat parking lot with the stiff wind and thunderstorm lashing you with a pepper spray of sand, you wipe the crankshaft journal before assembly lubing and placing the connecting rod upon it.
It is not the general hygiene of the neighborhood that concerns me. Your engine needs a dedicated spot where we assemble things clean so we will not have any questions about contamination. You pre-pare by cleaning all the parts we'll be handling/ Thank-you.

It has only been two years or so, and I remember well how all of the cold dank parts strewn haphhazardly about the dimly lit overstuffed garage gave me associations to cold fried eggs congealed in an oily frying pan on a greasy stove while the snow blasts through the broken window in the dark single-wide while the tinny TV in the other room yells appalling the cheers of nitwits on a game show.Sylvester wrote: I am sure Colin will not soon forget the engine installation for my 74 Westy in the cold and rainy days of October 2004.

I am too. Only me and Adventurewagen this year, weird. A person that lives near me has a bug and a newly-purchased bus. I plan to get to know them and sell them on an IAC visit for next year.hambone wrote:I'm surprised you don't have more customers in Seattle
Or Victoria, BC. If you could just get rid of your terrist connections, you could do good business there. Seems to me every third vehicle's a Bay.hambone wrote:I'm surprised you don't have more customers in Seattle
