The spring is coming!!!!

 Had to go to the garage, and try to do something. so i started to paint the winter wheel setup, as the snow might be melting... heh, better late than...i also grabbed the Aircooled.fi turbo exhaust with me to the garage, to show it to a fellow vw-nutcase. Im not sure, if its wise to test fit the turbo-setup to the wbx engine, but it sure is tempting. I'm afraid to snap a bolt or something, as the bug is inspected and totally working. it only would need to be driven. Nothing ever goes like intended, so this could end into something that aint so funny. lets see how things will proceed.

No boost?

Lets find out, if the compressor side of the engine is leaking. i do need a smoke machine too later, but this could tell much of the system with a cheap price. i ordered these from amazon.com, the company seems to be TURBO BOOST / Leak testers, made in USA.

So now i have new oil in the engine, new filter, these leak testers, and i have to check the rockers, if there would be something strange there... maybe something shows up?

 

small service to the ghia

As the oil in the engine looks like latte coffee, due to the E85, 

i had to change the oil, and the filter too, as i want to run the engine occasionally.

the weather was ok in the beginning, but as we went to buy oil and a filter, we got some snow...

but that didn't bother, at least not much. the next thing to the ghia, is to get it in a warmer place...

then starts the trouble shooting, for the leaks, and have to check if the cam is ok...

i ordered some stuff from amazon...for that leak testing....

 

small things happening

 i tried the fuchs copy wheels... to the purple bug, 

well looks ok. now with winter tires - but the rears are still to be painted, 

maybe today? will see...
