Der Violet ground beetle - project - Sinikiitäjäinen (Carabus violaceus) part6

The inspection day for the bug. i drove to lohja, to the leijonakatsastus. before that i went to motonet to get one bulb to the rear light, ended changing both sides, worked there normally, but in the inspection, didn't work that well. surprise! well otherwise the inspection went good, but one brake at the rear was not workin at all. so it didn't pass. what a pity, i thought that on my way home, i will get some tools from the cottage...but there is a steep road and its very bumpy. Suddenly the engine stopped. and boy, i didn't find the bug in this bug. i ended messages, and kotten the vw-guru in here, came to help me. thanks to him, we found the bad connection one wire connection was loose, and that made the engine loose ignition. after it was totally dark outside, it started right up. and i headed to the gas station. I drove the ug to nummela, where it is waiting that Kotten has time to fix the brake. then i will go back to the lion-inspection. to be continued....

Stay cool, check your hose!

Had to change the fuel line, because there seemed to be some extra gas in the enginebay, so now its the correct time to check the fuel lines, before the summer gets hot. :-) its so uncool to get your v-dub burned to a crisp...

(I bought 1.5 meters of gates fuel hose,)

Getting pretty much ready!!!!

For my eyes it looks hard as nails, but some people wont like it. ;-) i hope that this stays like this... And if theres some mods after all, they would be under the lid, maybe the pauter-machine? ...But the oldschool turbo setup looks so right there. Uuh aah... I would need a list to the drivers side, contact me if you got window lists...

our latest paruzzi AD!

the Vert needs my attention again. it will need, dropped & narrowed front axle, porsche pattern disks in front, 5-130 mm to the rear also, new bearings, new brakes, and those chromed 17" Foochs wheels. the ghia slides like a train in the highway, but there could be a bit more style...and becuse of me, first the attitude then the ... REST ...

i got new GREAT GHIA repairpanels from the paruzzi boys, and have to say that this is not some china junk, its real steel, have to locate a fast/good welder though... what else? a new retro sound radio... not installed yet, but im working on it... picks coming later, while i get myself on thr right mood to do some assembly. i guess that in these days.  :-)

the BAD... ok, i tryed to get parts from Keiteleen kone, drive to the yard...but 3 times - no service, no answer, no info....that does it for me. ...then to the motonet vantaa to get parts, ok, in lohja i got brake cylinders but not in helsinki or vantaa... :-(

so when i will try to get more parts in the sametime. from paruzzi.fi.

thanks guys. this works.
