doctor, doctor, my exhaust is leaking...

I dont remember that i have taken the engine out of the van....ever.

i saw that the engine has a lightened flywheel.

and some small thing to improve. 

The old header and silencer....well they might need some welding.

we took the engine to Hasse H´s. garage, 

so that the broken header studs could be taken care off.

somehow, hasse got the thing fixed and even the header on its place.

now we need a short oililter, around 7 cm tall.

After this im gonna put some new filters to the carbs 

and the engine will get some service too.

Have to say that this has been the best vw engine ever.

hopefully it will stand 10 years more - of fast driving.

new sidewinder exhaust from aircooled.fi :-)

the header needs the cooling tin to be 

cut a little bit - to fit the j-pipes correctly

28 degrees celcius - made this job a bit harder.

got to inspect if this old setup is re-usable...

one engine - fits all. :-)

Long hibernation - is over now.

For the "race-panel" ... first i drove 300 kilometers straight away, without any malfunctions, then to the NT2K-meet, to see other lunatics with a box shaped car. that was a fun meet actually, with lots of old friends, and now some new friends as well. thanks for the ones that made this happening!

"Close the shop - shady brothers coming" 😱

Had to take the panel to the cottage, for some minor tweaking...so i picked up the kids from school and daycare, and headed to lohja region...on the way i had to stop to take a pic ... Im not sure of the story of this place, but its really cool. A Blast from the past... ;-)

Smack my b..us up!

There you have it, this was totally my own fault, reversed the car with a trailer with a ghia on top of that, and smacked tha panelvan!!!! :-( ... Made totally my day... Ok, i know the van is not a show winner trailer queen, but still.... Aargh! Maybe he wants to go back to kangasniemi before the snow...

Porsche rsr clone - needs a few things :-)

I took the porsche body out of the garage, so that i could make more space, and hopefully one day a cleaner space... the rsr by the way needs an engine, transmission, bucket seats, door handles, those small grilles in front, etc... and front and rear valances, so if you got some of them let me know...

Theres too much shit in here. AND i started to fix the panelvan also. Got to fix it to get it inspected... But anyways, the weather is nice and im free to do this so lets get some progress...

veljekset hämärä - from the darkness to the light!

thanks to my brother arttu, i GOTS lights again!!! woohoo!

and the van starts also from the ignition switch!!!

i was soooo happy, to get help to the electric problems!

the help came from "saukkola city"

... now i can go to the inspection... :-)

well, the master paln is to put a diesel-eberspärscher heater...

it will make a sauna, of the panel, but i really need some heat to the panel.

its getting cold. ...ok ... somewinter tyres will be also handy.
