the shipping added another $1K, and i am above $1K in bits/parts getting it
into shape.  that's without any major systems (heads, vc, tranny) being

the noise control arrived today *overnight* from mcmaster-carr, for $1.30/sf
including tax and shipping; got 60 sf.  tomorrow i get the coolpatch and
some duro extend, and if it doesn't rain we're going to do some *work* on
the van.
