new "lay-out" for the turbo-ghia

i drove to 506 kilometres today to see my black ghia & bring some parts for a mock-up.
i had an idea how to put all the stuff in the engine bay, but when i was trying to make ém there as i wanted, i had to change the plans, for a more easier lay-out, but the best part, is that we can proceed with this new plan. the water/air cooler will be behind the right tail light area, the t04 60-1 turbo will get a longer 90 bend to fit with CB hideaway header, the intake manifold will get a 90 bend over the alternator, after that it will get the butterfly valve and after that comes the cooler, from the cooler to the turbo we will put the dump valve... we will have to get a tank for the cold water, and the radiator also... but in a week the car goes to a welder that will make all the mods, to the brackets, header, injectors, etc...so that the parts can be bolted to the car ...for good. one part that we managed to put in its place, was the wastegate, this is the number four.... huh. check out the pictures... you will get the idea anyway.

ghia update!!!! - Darth Wader is back!

The ex-sony-explod - ghia is back! 

and it looks pretty awesome! the (weld magnum) wheels looks good, 

with that black paint...as the red-white (TMI) interior,

and the oatmeal (www.paruzzi.fi) carpeting. 

the wheels ... looks almost too good to drive in the streets?

mighty fine ... wow!

Paruzzi oatmeal carpeting, Gene Berg shifter, 

...but othervise mostly stock-look.

is it running? or the tires have to be smoking... :-)

looks great! that thing doesn´t need a wing.

ok, the tires are a bit skinny, but so what. 

theres some hardcore technic in here!

the seats are loose, and the door panels are off.

the stance police "sez" HELL YES!

ghia update - the INNO things. :-)

(inside joke) but the ex-sony-exploid ghia is pretty much coming together...

its currently in the interior shop, but in good hands. 

i´ll put some picks of the metamorphosis... in here...

the show years... with some serious equipment...

but that was in the wrong end... this is my first "better" ghia.

in the wasa-years it even went to the strip...

my vision was to make the body black, 

with red and white interior... with new 1 original type wiring 

(compared to the x3 wiring that was found in the car) 

stereo parts off, and a more street racer attitude.

... show and go. but needs to be a driver.

... so take the ghia and take off allmost everything

it looked partially nice, when it was just washed, but 

it really wasnt... :-) trust me.

heavy loudspeakers, heavy boxes...

aaaahhh... theres some nice wiring.

and some foam, everywhere... no wonder the 

door locks didnt work so well....

its been a while... jimi was pretty small boy...

...and sometimes even sleeped pretty well...

NO "GUTS" - NO GLORY

better!

even better!

one idea... not bad... suits you sir.

off to ohkola ranch. for some body repairs...

and for some paint...

... think after, why we just didnt re-wire it again, etc...

repair the bad parts and ....

ok, not the option in this case.

the king of ohkola - mika särkelä :-)

mika is pretty good with the sheet metal...

the colour seems to be changing...

darth wader is in the house!

flat black - is allways IN

but so is this too...

the inspector sez YES!

i say the same!

at sepänkatu...

kawell turbo came from waasa...

maybe if i could use the 912 engine instead?

looks like a car...

this will be the looks... mr sippo is giving a hand.

yeas... looks good!

and topped with some weld wheels...

this would be a good looking car.

and from the beginning, i´ve had the idea 

that it has to have a seat for jimi.

kawell, with 2332 cc...

from this point the car was trailered to Kangasniemi, to pekka laitinen,

and now its changing from a "lay-out" to reality...and a street car, i hope...

 its getting there, stay tuned...  :-)
