Parts, parts, parts

We've been awash in parts lately, as we prepare to make Gertie our daily driver and Ludwig our road warrior.

This box of air cleaner components, carb linkage, and intake manifolds for Ludwig came from Busted Bus in Colorado.

I forgot to get this mixture distributor (again, for Ludwig) from Busted Bus, but got it later from Interstate VW in California.

Lastly, we got these four NOS fuel injectors for Gertie from a classified ad on the Samba. "NOS" stands for "new old stock", which means that they sat on some parts store's or VW dealer's shelf and never got sold, until someone dug them up all these years later. NOS is just about the best way to go anymore since so many of the new replacement parts made for these cars are basically garbage.

I know I said we were "awash" in parts and the above may not seem like much, but there's much more coming up--with a much much more interesting back story--in another post.
