Seats and flooring are in!

We have been looking very carefully at the suggestions posted on the forum "The Samba" and are sound proofing Sloth while everything is out. Today we worked on the floor and engine cover.

Yippee!!!

We picked up Sloth today! It ended up costing a bit more than we had planned on, however, we are very happy with the outcome. Sloth looks brand new!

So here is the work that we accomplished:

• replaced the rear hatch struts (the new struts, from GoWesty, needed extra washers at the bottom to hold it out enough to clear the door, we ended up using the two plastic washers - that came off the original - and two metal washers)
• replaced all the bulbs (taillight and two front turn signals)
• replaced the headlights with H4's (Unfortunately, the regular headlights do not work, only the high beams. We are trying to debug this now.)

Below are some pictures of the beautiful Sloth. Today, I am going to finish reinsulating the engine cover (cover with B-Quiet and then NASA insulation from JC Whitney), get all the dust vacuumed out, and clean the pop-top.

Picking up Sloth

We will be picking up Sloth either today or tomorrow. We are VERY excited! We have added a count down for our trip. We need to get VERY busy now. Just waiting for Mark to call us and give us the all clear to pick Sloth up.

Whew!!!

Just got word from Mark (at TZS) that Sloth is ready to be sprayed. It is getting closer. Kurt and I are making our list and checking it twice!

Still WAITING.....

Oh, this is killing us. We are really behind now. We are not going to be able to get Sloth back for another two weeks. Mark is doing a fantastic job (from TZS) but we thought that it was going to only take 3 weeks not 3 months. Waiting.....
