A little more than 2 years ago I bought a nice single owner 1990 BII with a lot of miles on it but it was meticulously maintained. Thought I would do a 'driveway resto', to see what could be done without a proper garage, etc. Got started on it and got hit with a very expensive sewer line replacement and then back surgery! Double whammy! Finally two years later I'm turning wrenches again. I had started a restro thread on another forum which has since shut down so I thought I would begin anew here. I've been shooting some video as I go along.
(Episode 0) The initial walk around, was done two years ago just to document the shape it was in and make a list of what needed done.
(Episode 1) The return, was mostly filmed two years ago and was intended to be a cheap job I could do while still reeling from the $$$ sewer line replacement. Little did I know at the time it would take 2 years to complete.
(Episode 1.5) A side quest to clean that moldy car cover and see if the internet experts know what they are talking about.
(Episode 2) Will likely be rear axle bearing and seal replacement as I have NOS parts on hand for this job (and there is a leak on right side).
The main goal at this time is to get the BII back on the road.
