The barn is looking fantastic. I had a friend in high school whose whole family was VW fanatics. Bettles, Karmann Ghias, Type 3s, they had them all. I'm a Chevy guy, but I've always thought older VWs are cool.
I have a soft spot for revolvers. I have a similar revolver to yours, it’s also pre-lok. It might be .357 or .44mag. I don’t recall, I got it in a trade with the ex brother-in-law quite some time ago.
Finished the rebuild of the powering steering pump, now onto cleaning up the engine bay. I should be picking up the engine within a few weeks.:deathmeta
Finally was able to finish the transmission rebuild after waiting for a small parts to come in. Now onto the power steering pump. Yesterday, I pulled a nail out of the truck tire and patched it (No pictures ). I checked the PSI in the tire and it appears to be holding.
Now that the transmission is done, it’s time to clean the power steering pump before the engine goes back into the truck. I didn’t take a before picture but the pump and bracket had 54 years on oil and grim on it. I started with scraping what I could get off, then gas (I wore gloves)...
