i´ve got a new package

are you trying to Find repair parts for a transmission with liberty gears? A very hard task ...1.31 keyed 4th gear to a liberty gear package... around 15 inquiries to different companys... + to famous racers too. huh. finally found them from dave folts - usa. thanks for dave, the transmission project might be progressing...

and this transmission is coming to the orange bug.

slow progress, but getting better


I try to fix the leaks, the intake manifold has now 
better silicone hoses and clamps too, from Autosiliconehoses
but there's still things to do especially with the turbo header



The copper gaskets has been swapped to a different solution...
if they do not work, then have to change to the copper ones



In this picture you can see new copper nuts, 
one a bit burned oil hose, and the ASH silicone hoses & clamps too.



not so much space under the ghia. :-)

smoke detector detected.

Bought a smoke detector from amazon.com, 
and i was surprised that it really works and helps too.
its actually very helpful. this has been used on the turbo-ghia.
found couple of places that leaks. in the intake and the exhaust too.
the inspection is still on progress...
 


 

something is happening

just for the fun, the 1700 cc engine is getting parts, 



and the 76x94 is getting more complete, got to modify the engine tin, 
to make them first the oxyboxer...
the old kawell turbo set is a mock up to see what kind of exhaust 
would suit the massive sump-pump
