He is over at Herr Schmidts getting ball joints,tie rods,and drag link installed. They were supposed to be finished today at 1 pm, but the ball joints I got at ASK (local vw parts place) were for a 72 and up. So they had to order the correct ones, and the drag link. Hopefully they will be done this evening or tomorrow. I hope it drives like a new bus, it better, all that stuff cost almost as much as the NEW motor. F.Y.I. Herr Schmidts is the ONLY place I could find in Houston that was familiar with bay window bus ball joints. I have heard that they are a bitch to press. The front end shop that Bob recommended could not do it for me because Herr Schmidts stopped renting out their tool.
