ghia update - welcome to the the paint shop!

my pauter machine is on its way!

yeeeha. my Pauter small block (86x94) started its trip to Finland today from Frank "the bank" Estradas yard to helsinki city. AND special thanks to ARSKA in california, who was willing to help me in this case...to ship it to Finland. This should make my GHIA a bit tougher in the competition... :-) well now its time to get the transmission from Rancho.

Is this great or what? the engine looks pretty clean to me. :-)

pro mod battle - hair dryer for a giant afro?

you could blow off the whole barber shop with this baby. ;-)

the quest for the 7.99 by frank "the bank" estrada.

karmann ghia update - engine&tranny

the rancho DRAG PRO race tranny is still in USA, and the pauter small block is also in frank the banks yard...whys that? well the engine is payed full, but the fees in the receiving bank i have to pay also. well its only 100 usd still... and then manage the shipping. hehe... maybe one day theres a gorgeus ups officer bringing me something to put my hands on to. ??? at least i hope so. ;-)

christmas coming early? part 2

i got a pair of the famous karpiola race axles, and they really came in time... the problem seems to be that for a small company like karpiola bros, its not so easy to make so many axles that would sell (probably) but they are payed, and at my hands. :-) so whats missing? well...a transmission that can take the punishment? well ...its coming from rancho performance... (rancho seems to be THE transmission shop) :-) check them out...
