New tires for Pod
Feb. 9, 2004: Picked up some new tires for Pod today. Got them at the Firestone shop on University in Berkeley. They're the right size (185R14), load rating (C), and load index (99 - 1710lbs) for a Westfalia. Speed rating is P (93 MPH). Got them for $50/wheel + mounting and balancing + tax, etc. They drove really nicely coming back across the Bay Bridge. Here are some photos of the spare in case you're interested in picking up some for yourself.

Seat restoration for Pod
Jan. 10, 2004: Today I started the process of restoring the front seats on Pod. Pod came with ugly gray seat covers that were providing the padding that was missing from the original seat stuffing after almost 30 years. I finished the passenger seat on Jan. 18 and installed it on the driver side so I could enjoy it while restoring the other seat.

Open up the belly pan
Feb. 14, 2004: Today I opened up the belly pan to take a look at the sloppy shifter. This is a work-in-progress; I am waiting for some parts from OE Veedub to arrive.
