Red, it's so funny you wrote that because that was exactly what I thought the instant I saw the intake on top of the spare tire.

Dude! mine can't compare to yours.. I think you hired child laborers with tooth brushes to clean yours. :P
Oh no.. now a HSR reminds everyone of Hokies. What have I done?

I do a little bit each morning after work it will be done before you know it. Time limited here also.

I've always found that to work. When I did the timing chain on the 84 a few years back, I was seriously up against it for time, but I didn't want to pop over $900 for the work....so I would set aside 15-30 minutes every day for the car....even if that meant just scraping a gasket off and quitting for the day.

In 3 weeks, the car was back on the road.

I'm doing a major landscaping project on my house right now the same way. I'm amazed at the progress.

That is how my car looked for 3 months over the course of this summer. I hate not being able to drive the damn thing during the nicest time of the year

I feel your pain. My '79 is in a state of partial disrepair because I'm replacing the heater core and rebuilding the HVAC system. Severe back pain stopped me at the point of pulling the dash, then I got hit with a cancer diagnosis. The treatments sapped every bit of strength out of me. I'm hoping on doing what Frizzle says and work 30 minutes a day.

Hang in there all Vetter's with these issues.

is that a garden hose intertwined throughout everything? is so, you'd have to clean up just so you can clean up
