    Restoring a type 1 Porsche style fiberglass fan shroud.

    I found a couple of cracks in it and I think I need to take down the pant to fiberglass and lay a strip of loath on either side of the crack.   I really wish I knew how to work on fiberglass 😞

    Restoring a type 1 Porsche style fiberglass fan shroud.

    I’ve cleaned all the grease of inside and out, seems I’m not the first to do a reair on this, they come in around $1,500 if you can find one without the kit so I think it’s worth the trouble.   The part that concerned me the most was this where it would rub against the old plenum, on inspection...

    Restoring a type 1 Porsche style fiberglass fan shroud.

    I picked up this wet dry pack ranging from 80 to 3000 grit and a small package of epoxy repair from West Marine. Let’s see if I can teach my kids how to use the sand paper…. Probably not 😞

    What did he know about Chelsea?

    We all know that Chelsea’s wedding was paid for with Haitian hurricane relief money. What else could this guy have possibly known about her? Biden looks shocked that the question wasn’t about what he had eaten for breakfast that morning.

    So, I want to cut off the injector bungs and put them on the bottom so they spray straight into the valve.  Any ideas?

    Subway Tuna Sammich!

    I was thinking of giving some love to subway and getting a tuna sammich today ….. but then the news story goes on to say not only is there no tuna DNA found in the subway tuna, but they’re not even sure what it is but probably not even fish….

    Best tool for cutting braided hose?

    I’m using -8 for fuel and -10 for oil, it’s a VW.  I’m thinking I’m going to use -12 for the fuel pressure regulator return ……. Try and reduce bubbles and aeration.
