I put the carbs back on and fresh fuel lines. I gave it a quick charge and started her up. The right-hand cylinder is back firing and I suspect the carbs need proper synching, but progress was made!

I caught this snippet and thought it was a more complete explaination: http://stason.org/TULARC/vehicles/vw-performance/37-Why-cross-drilled-rotors.html

Can you get Avons for that monster? :)

Very clean work. Nicely done.

My intention today was to finish up the seat pan before work, but I have to de-tab the frame before I can finish fitting the pan sides. Today is the warmest day if the week with a high of 20* and the snow is thigh high... this wouldn't be an issue if I had a shop :'( poor me. Soooooo I got...
