Decided to put this on hold until after the holiday. Currently just making a wish list of parts to order once money replenishes itself, tree should be sprouting soon.
Hopefully parts ordered around the first and time to grind and get this done! Doing little things in preparation.

So today I went to put the rear brakes together, got the transaxle on the bench only to find this...

The shop tore an o-ring, so now I have to take it back.

I was rummaging through boxes for my brake parts only to find my hardware kit.

Apparently, I never re-ordered my brakes. I had to return the whole kit(front&rear) a few months ago since I only need the rear drum kit since Im running disc up front. I guess I forgot to call the place back and order the rear kit.

Precious cargo coming home. The shop kinda got me on labor, but its done so no worries.
Cleaned other components up and got a few things mounted and sealed for the trans to be put in once this rain clears. The old man apparently melts in the rain so he's no help right now.

Small update, I talked to the aircooled shop today. Hopefully have it back tomorrow, they said I'm the priority for tomorrow. So that means possibly get it mounted tomorrow since I'm off.

That's cool that you have it now. Do you have to cut much to give room around the bags, or is there nothing there to begin with?

Not much there. Still havent heard anything from him in to regards to it showing up though.

Small Update:
I dont know how this happened, but I was informed I need longer axle shaft tubes. Everything I took off went back on, so I dont know what changed in length not allowing the bearing to seat properly.

Hopefully get the transaxle back Monday and get it mounted.

Tuesday I got home from work and was surprised to see a huge box on my porch.

Apparently the guy shipped the air beam, didnt tell me, never answered my email, and my dispute with the bank is finished and I was given my money back. Sadly I will have to say something to my bank. Not everything was with the beam that was supposed to be there, such as bags and torsion arms.

Had to drop my transmission off at the local aircooled shop to fix the bearing problem. I couldnt figure it out, everything was put in properly. Hopefully have it back tomorrow.

Yup, Punchdrunk has a lot of people mad at him, he's kind of the pariah of the Type 3 world at this point. Anyway, glad to see you're on the right track now! The beauty of Notchbacks (well, any Type 3, in my opinion) is that the timeless design lends itself to pretty much any build style. Anything you choose for wheels is likely to look awesome!

Yeah I didnt know he would turn out like that. Seemed real legit at first, but my bank returned it all to me. Yeah I cant make my mind up about wheels, too picky.
