Here are some pictures showing the Thor at Manny's repair shop. He is making progress.

Outer cabinet, and a jack that removed the inner tub.

Ross, great pictures, that Thor sure is interesting! I never would have thought the motor and pump were mounted horizontally on the mechanism.

Good luck Dr. Manny on getting it up and running!

Thanks for the update Ross, great pictures. I wonder what Manyy is planning on replacing the outer tub boot with?

That boot looks like an automotive CV joint boot. I would Bet one would work as a replacement.

Thunderous Thor!!

Ross:

Boy, I'll bet you can't wait to see her up and running! This is really going to be fun!! Can we expect to see her in all of glory at Tucson 2007? ;-)

Venus :-)

Hi Venus. Yes, the Thor will certainly be ready for the next Tucson wash in with overflow rinse.
