Frankencar- 70 would be awesome, 80 even better
. Please do come if you can. I'd like to check out one of your 4x4 VWs, but they might not get as good mileage
.
Got the engine and am going to start rip-and-tearing Saturday morning. I'd like to have the diesel in place by Monday morning. Running by next weekend. We'll see
.
Trip stuff- From my place, it's about 2500 miles. I'll be leaving Sep. 2(Sunday) and if I average about 400 miles a day, I'll arrive on Friday, late. TC's place is about 800 miles away. Doable in one day, but ball busting, and no quality time for visiting, so I'm looking for a stopping point along the way for Sunday night and catch TC on Monday night. I'm going to start a google map of the route and perspective stops. If there is anyone who wants to meet on the way just to say "Hi", let me know. Plenty of planning time...for now
.
Also, Friday afternoon/evening, if possible, we could pick a spot to gather and caravan in together. Anyone who knows the area?
