Found exhaust leak that I fixed 3 weeks ago (again).
Banged head against wall because now I know for sure that I'm going to have to spend several hours taking the exhaust manifold off and having the turbo flange milled flat next week.

nah its not that impressive m8, Vintage Vespa's are easy as fuck to work on, 2 bolts, 4 wires, 7 cables and the whole engine/gearbox/exhaust/carb comes out in one handy lump you can lift onto the workbench. 3 bolts and the seat is off, 2 more and the tank is out. trickiest part of yesterday was the wiring loom which took me about 25 minutes to replace.

I wiped some fresh bird shit off it, and peeled a couple of autumn leaves off the rear window. But that was all before leaving work on friday.
I haven't even been OUTSIDE this weekend. It's raining, fuck going outside.

It's a good feel

I bought a tank of gas... I don't have much free time right now, I'm about to move into a new house. The project cars are coming with me.
>>
On Friday I parked my car in my parents driveway to unbolt a seat belt that was stuck in the lock position. When I tried to leave my car wouldn't turn over and gave me a CEL, EPC, and battery light.

2 days of internet searching only to find out that a blown power window/door lock fuse was blown and keeping me from starting my car.

Based VW

Pulled the fenders yesterday and took them down to bare metal, going to weld up the antenna hole then shoot them in sealer, and color just on the jamb part. Today I powerwashed the inner fenders, scuffed off all the road grime, and painted it with Eastwood chassis paint
