Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Well, a few things have changed that have taken me away from my Beetle, firstly was that I had run out of money to purchase any parts (as I stated before I'm only allowed to spend money that is gifted to me, I have a small commission from work and I get 5% of that too).  Secondly, my 28PICT carburator was missing a cover for the choke...

I searched high and low for a cheap beat up 28PICT with no luck, I did however find someone on www.thesamba.com that was selling carb tops (looks like for a 30PICT), which I bought for $50US, it has the cover I need and so that is one small victory, because my carb is completely rebuilt, I'll cover it up nicely so as not to get plugged with spiders and cobwebs.  Lastly I recently had an addition to the family in the form of a new baby girl, so obviously some things have been put on the back burner for a bit.  My next milestone is to finally split the blocks of my two engines and get a tally of what I need internally for one good engine.
