some upgrade at the garage...

 cutting, grinding, fitting, and  cutting, grinding, fitting, 

well getting somewhere anyways. looks better, but the throttle bores are still missing.

and the header for the turbo won't fit with that massive oil pump. 



and this turbo engine is a 76x94 oxyboxer


this on is a 2332cc basic stroker

oxyboxer update

I started to cut the china tin to fit the oxyboxer, 
and as i haven't done this before, i was a bit scared.
but looks like things might work.
and while waiting for the dual throttle bores, 
i used the carbs to mock up the plenum etc. 
now i will do the other side and 
check for the other turbo parts too.

agent orange and the red rooster

 both of these needs some action. the red one needs the front brake, assembled at the garage, and then back to the cottage. to put it in its place. i don't like the cold weather and working outside. but got to do that, then its done. and as i drive a audi quattro, i can even come back from the cottage, the down hill to the cottage is a bit icy and slippery. and good news with the orange bug, as the transmission is good and ready,  so it might be best to get the bug from cottage to more suitable place to change the gearbox. more of that later. have to go to garage now. ciao!


Jimi is concentrating in the stoplights

waitng for a sunny day to assemble the brake parts.

but have to make this work. looks like these are kelsey hayes brakes...

steps back... huh

 Well, i went to pick up the violet wbx bug, but the battery was totally dead. so no improvement for that, i took the battery with me, but the defa charger was so clever that it didn't want to charge the battery... Daaaaamn! ok, have to get a old style charger to charge it, hope to get one. and it needs cooling fluid also, wbx marks it spot... sadly. and it should be inspected too, next month.

ok, the panel van was waiting for better times... maybe it will get some movement next time, at least have to start it up and let it run ...have to think when to get it inspected too...

and the dodge needs some new/rebuildt brake calipers. i think it has e-body brakes. pretty heavy after all the brembo brakes... :-) but endless work with these...

the dodge disc brakes are still having bugs. 
so i took one off and try to get that working today.


this bug has also some problems, 
with the front brakes, but i will fix them too but later on.
