late-night oxyboxer update

Ok, looks promising, this is only a mock-up. to see how things would fit, 
and later on how the old header looks like, this one needs a custom made header, as the oil pump interferes with every header that i do have. 
but lets see who might be the lucky one to make it. 
i also ordered a collector, but it came with a v-band, my mistake. 
maybe the same that will make the primaries, will make the collector too.














this header is not the one, not atleast the final one.

that pesky fuel.


 well the dodge hasn't been running that well, and as its normally some trash in the carb, i took the carb away, and dismantled it again. and the fuel has like chrystals, but soft. i don't know what happens, but now i have two fuel filters inline, and i bought some chemical to stop the problems with the fuel. this could work, the 360 v8 runs pretty much ok now. :-) and now i can try to fix the brakes... before the snow. i hope.

loads of progress - I'm on fire!





this will tell something of the plans. 
time will tell is it a mistake or not. :-)



maybe there's a place for the t3/4 turbo...



a small problem with this fork, 
but we managed to fix it eventually.
we also changed to a softer (black magic) clutch disk.
its now with a kep stage 3 pressure plate.
also now its adjusted. and works.






these quick locks i wanted to the bug and ghia. 
as its pain to get out, with my torso.
broken back, and belly too. :-) 




ok thats a light one. the wbx flywheel...


new parts, should last for a while.

the wasserboxer turbo

the wbx bug has a pesky problem to loose the electrics, and this time its really annoying but i have to check that out too, jimi changed the ground wire, but it didn't help. any ideas? i hate electric problems.

well one welder guy came and checked the wbx -project, hopefully i could get it started in a week, the welding progress - that is. But you don't have more power, if you don't you have the spark. :-(

there was problems with the panel van too, but a new alternator, helps a lot.

Great things happening!


I got jimi to help me, as my wrist is somehow broken, 
as the res of my body, but anyways...
we took the old gearbox off, it was only there for moving the bug.

now we put the drag race gearbox IN!
there's also karpiola race axles, and mister
Kotten fixed all the gremlins off.
so now we are getting somewhere. at last.
have to go to shop more big nuts and bolts too. 
this will be great. now the big question is ... 

Turbo 76x94 or ATMO 84x94?
or Turbo 84x94?

what do you think?
