everything is broken, a bit...

 ok, my Audi broken, the axle... and it didn't move anymore...

so i thought i use the wbx bug, but after a while, there started to be some electric problems, like suddenly all the electrics were gone... ok, i started to search for a loose connection, and i think i found it, it stopped, but suddenly the starter stopped to operate. i got a bit frustrated with that...so i took the bug to somero, to rest in a barn. well i took the museum registered plymouth duster instead...

it works like a it should. BUT when i was trying to get to the inspection, something broke in the rear axle. 

similar like in the Quattro audi, this didn't move at all... my friends Musse towed us to the cottage.

i was so frustrated that i finished the AUDI axle replacement to the front axle. and boy i was exhausted.

now the audi works... that's good. some good of this ... and the buggy's starter has some issues... and the dodge pickup has a broken brake hose... and ... i don't know. im a bit tired

endless tweaking...

there's something wrong in the audi, also in the rear axle.

have to get better pics, but that is not the only one.

looks like the transmission has to be taken out, to get one part of

maybe it would be vise to change the whole clutch too...?

I'm happy to have a mini-me that can make things 

while I'm totally exhausted. Jimi helped me to take the j-pipe off 

- after that it was easier to fix the leaking exhaust

we had to augment the rear suspension, but we were 

adjusting it somewhere 2 centimeters.

its better but needs to be higher at the winter.

maybe its time to think serious - about the turbokit...

VW´s in need!

My friend Mika, called for help, because he had lost his 1960 vw busses fan belt, on its way to my cottage, for an other job, so now we had to first to drive to the cottage, then dismantle the stuff & a car from the trailer, then locate i right fan belt. i wasn't that eager to take it off ...of the turbo ghia. but i found a new one. some people calls me Jyrp market, because i have too much shit at many places. well we went to see mika to a gas station to ...save his butt. Jesus saves... and sometimes i can do that also ;-) ...(and i even put on its place.) huh what a day indeed.

Pick´n Up a Dodge

When i was a kid there was 2 guys with Dodge Town Panels, tearing up the pavement...adjusting the engines...and smoking the tires at helsinki city...i had a bicycle, they had their ex-police cars. that have been hounding me years. well i just got home from the pick up trip. what a great trip, to the Kotka City. Kotka means an Eagle. this Dodge has been converted to a pick up. has a V8, that should be a 5.59 liter engine...sounds like a 340 !!! it also has an open diff 8 3/4 so it has all the right stuff. frees the tires also. but the sound is soooo great. I absolutely love that pick up, its also painted, welded and has plenty of new stuff. and today, to get it to the trailer, we had to swap these ice track tires. and it looks bad asss.... ts time to clean up the yard also. to get rid of the vw racing parts and some vw-s too, but not all. gotta go back to the cottage to play with the P-U.  the dodge was happy to run and smoke tires, but the audi was not on my side.

1 crazy thing to tell about the trip is that my new audi, that i bought from a swedish car dealer, seems to have some minor problems, like when you have 2000 kilos of steel in a tow hook, occasionally you will not go faster than 60-90 kilometer per hour in a highway...damn those eGR and shit like that. Gotta get id of those. and more power and...

the ugly duckling - the ghia that didn´t get ANY love :-)

 ok, no one wanted to buy it, so i had to spoil it!
...the other side is still like before...
this was "U-duckies" first day out,
rolling... with bigger boots on the left legs...

from this (before) ... turn the other cheek...

to a "These boots were made for walking over U"...

...cut some inches of the wheel arches, 

some suspension-drop, flares, big wheels, 

...some other "future tricks" etc... le voilà!

ok, some adjustment needed in here, ;-)

4 the bumper, headlights etc.

now its a FUGLY-DUCKling, with muscles.
