Well, I started a new thread since we completed the injection pump timing exercise. I say we because I certainly didn't do it alone on this forum. Thanks again!

The above exercise discovered something wrong with the motor so that part is on hold. I don't want to do any motor work until I have a concrete floor. So this thead will start with the interior. At least I'll have a cool wabbit I can sit in and make vroom-vroom noises. :-)
This is what I want Rudy to look like except the shoes and it'll have a roof rack. It's also my in sig. This pic is of an Austrailian 76 diesel.
WINDOW SEALS:
Objective - Windows that don't leak or fall out.
The old ones came out so easily it was almost distrubing. The rubber was all rotted. I ordered seals without the inserted trim piece accidentally, but glad for it.
As you can see above it just came apart. I was told to cut the seal from the outside. That seemed too hard so I just went from the inside and turned up the rubber and peeled it away from the headliner. And pushed and the side glass pieces came right out.
The back window is heated so just in case someone else doesn't know (and Bentley doesn't tell us), pull the connectors off. They are spade connectors and the male half is glued to the glass and the female is part of the car.
There is some cancer.
HEADLINER:
It had some tears in it when I bought it and I needed to work on the sunroof and I wanted to do some sound proofing so it got ripped up further. I think I am going to pay someone to re-install.
SUNROOF:
I have a broken part (#171898015). Henry at VW-CollegeStation found me a cable. Sunroof drain tubes will be tested/fixed and sunroof put back together.
FLOOR:
Seats are out and most of the carpet as well. It's a pain for sure. Rear floor pans still have some glued down mat stuff on it. I'm going to try the dry ice method since so many have been asking questions about it here and on vortex.
I have POR-15 to stop/fix/prime rust spots and that is what I'm doing first around the windows so I can get the headliner put back in
