On the weekend, but got the following sorted:
Assembled the new front end, and got it up into the car. Lifting, aligning, and bolting in a semi-built front beam is NOT fun with a single person! Converted the front and rear axle to studs and nuts, as opposed to lug bolts.
Finished machining up the Porsche 356 style rear spacers...which move the rear wheels out to an acceptable position from previous.
I've had black carpet in the car since I first finished it, mostly because it was being used for TV and they prefered to have the whole interior black. When I reupholstered to the red, carpet wasn't in the budget. I was possibly going to have the car hired out for the month of May, and for that client the interior was important. So bought the fastest carpet kit I could get, even though it's not the colour I really want. Oh well, it's an upgrade for now!
Drives fantastic on the new setup, no tire rub even with two of us and full luggage. With gas prices the way they are, it's quite the car. Filled up the tank in Princeton, drove it all the way to Squamish. Still wasn't out of fuel. Rally Bug can almost get to Chilliwack :P
Took care of a number of small issues on the car, but my quick rebuild on the howling speedometer was a failure. It locked up, and took out the cable. Gotta send it out for a proper rebuild and/or buy another unit.
