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. 

My daily driver BUG...

This red rooster is fun to drive, the kids like it, girls also, and its cheap fun.

Before the snow there is still something to do, like ...to change this gt muffler to a original one, mainly to get more heat for the cabin, and to change the right side heater "duck"  to a correctly repaired one, the excisting one is repaired poorly, with a undersize tube, so you will have a smell of gases inside... Not good. Especially when you want to use the heater... I got the spare part from musse habbaba (thanks!) and i got it repaired in kannelmäki's gift to the exhaust-Pipe-people - TIITTANEN... ;-)

Have to admit that the yet unsold kawell turbo kit would suit this 1600 cc engine pretty well, but i like the easy starting etc... The easyness in this bug is simply awesome... I also got an idea that this would be the ultimate donor car to the steyr 55, but to ruin a good working bug... Maybe not.

Some brake update is coming, swapping to 5-130 boltpattern... More picks later...

You need some welding? Autopelti hytöset oy

Well a new GOOD contact for me was this autopelti hytöset, in konala (helsinki)! 

The inspector found a rust spot In the panelvan from the bottom, (check the picture) and due to the lack of welding equipment, i asked the job from this company... They promised to do it fast, and for the right price... so now the panelvan is ready for the inspector for that part!

Have to say that the guy behind the desk has many old vw's so its a safe place to take your vw.

Thanks for the good job!

wheres the love?

 The poor ghia, - it only needs love and caring, but so far no luck. maybe the "one" is getting closer though...

ghia vert - www.paruzzi.fi to the resque

ONE STOP SHOP- paruzzi.fi!!!

I have to admit, i got the sheet metal in the picks, new narrowed adjustable front axle, + loads of parts brake & suspension parts, roof parts, etc...all in one shop, (Heck even the seats are from paruzzi...) which makes life a lot easier than drive everywhere collecting for every different part, so the project might upgrade pretty fast...this way. and the service is just great!

For the Ghia, i was bout to slam it, but the first thing, that came before that is to repair the windshield wiper system. ok, i took my iphone, googled "ghia 1966 wiring diagram" and there i was, repairing the wiring of the ghia, and damn, i got it even working, (maybe the medication works partly to me, normally i would give up in these things so much more easily). 

ok, after that i thought i could make the garage useful by cleaning it, and that took a bit longer than i expected, BUT it´s getting there. i will make it. and then the front axle will come out pretty fast. and i´ll put some nice new stuff for the inspector to see. hope he likes it. ;-) ...
