I worked a bunch on my vintage Beetle last weekend; but I didn't upload the photos and I didn't bring that camera with me. :-( The status is that the heads have been re-torqued, and so I'm putting the engine back together for what I hope is the last time for 75,000 or so miles; it should go that long now with new heads. At that point I'll probably re-build the engine.
HOWEVER (it's always something), I did notice that there were
things under and around the oil cooler that were oily that hadn't been
before, and the part of the engine deck direclty below it is
significantly oilier than then other parts. As long as it's apart, I
figure that it might be a good time to pre-emptively replace it. So I
bought a new oil cooler with all the proper acoutraments to install on
the engine when I get back in town.
I took a couple of interesting pictures here. Before the snow started
seriously melting today: his and hers cars in the snow:
I find the way the snow fractured and fell off neat:
