Autool smoke leak testing

 it is a great little box, and good and easy to use. there's smoke coming in different places, found one mystery leak. but the others are easy to fix. if you have a turbo car, i would highly recommend autool.

have to test is it the new exhaust gasket that leaks or where it comes...

also the v-band seems to leak a little bit...

have to check that out also.

Fuchs wheel (copy) gets new paint

 Had to mask / paint the last wheel, so that i could get the winter tires under. and whats best, i might get a chrome bumper to the front, with the blinker of course. damn, this little bug is getting pretty. have to locate the center caps to the wheels also. and some chromed bolts. and a rear seat too...and what else?

project 1915cc stormer

 This might be the smallest vw engine in my place for the moment. 

we got the engine running, but the carb leaked some, so we have to get a new one.

and the engine tins also, and a better muffler too. 

i got the ghia also back to the garage. 

Finding some lost parts for my 1915 project

The black ghia is in autotune.fi, for the new ecu and other turbo upgrades, so i can allways, seek for the lost parts for this 1915cc project, its going to be a "el cheapo" version, mainly putting stock parts and some tune up parts together, nothing fancy. Its a block that i had in my closet, a full flowed, line bored, with some oil mods, now with a stock 69 crank, stock rods, a engle w110 copy cam, bigger oil pump, 94 p/c kit, stock heads but with harder springs, double 40 dell's, 009 and a header...i think it will make that blue ghia vert in a great cruiser... Lets see... The picks are for memorising what i have to find... Oilpump, flywheel, plugs, cylinder spigots, bits&bobs ;-) and unported manifolds for the carbs too... 

waiting for santa

lots of things to do, with ghias, dirt bikes & the panel van.

1. the panel van has suffered from a malfunction in the parking brakes and it hasn't passed the mot yet, and one small electric "bug" has been a pain in ass also....but thanks to Kotten Tallgren, they seem to stay in the history, ...time will tell





this little guy is happy as hell, and why not? if i had this kind of stuff at 8 years old, i would have been too, ;-)
