back to the basics.

Due to the fact that the "17 inch wheels" needs a lower suspension, we will go NOW with the 15" wheels. its old school and maybe goes more straight. there might be a inspection try-out this week, and hopefully a permission to drive this thing after 15 years hibernation... it looks 80´s style. its not my cup of tea, but i can live with that. ...more to come.

latest "sluggish" action.

bits and bobs with this blue convertible... tomorrow 

maybe a start-up, and some driving at the cottage.

this time with a stock carb. just to make it easy. 

who knows, all of my convertible ghias might be sold in a week.

 

if not... then i just have to stick with them. :-)

the dodge is waiting for info of the broken parts. 

do you or your friend have any D100 dodge parts? 

if so let me know. i want to have this inspected pretty soon.

have to get the correct grey wheels under it too... all four!

want to put 19" in a bug? 

i would have some, at least to the rear.

heres some massive BMW wheels, that were also in this dodge.

hmmm, not my cup of tea. but could  fill the wheel wells pretty good?

Pick´n Up a Dodge

When i was a kid there was 2 guys with Dodge Town Panels, tearing up the pavement...adjusting the engines...and smoking the tires at helsinki city...i had a bicycle, they had their ex-police cars. that have been hounding me years. well i just got home from the pick up trip. what a great trip, to the Kotka City. Kotka means an Eagle. this Dodge has been converted to a pick up. has a V8, that should be a 5.59 liter engine...sounds like a 340 !!! it also has an open diff 8 3/4 so it has all the right stuff. frees the tires also. but the sound is soooo great. I absolutely love that pick up, its also painted, welded and has plenty of new stuff. and today, to get it to the trailer, we had to swap these ice track tires. and it looks bad asss.... ts time to clean up the yard also. to get rid of the vw racing parts and some vw-s too, but not all. gotta go back to the cottage to play with the P-U.  the dodge was happy to run and smoke tires, but the audi was not on my side.

1 crazy thing to tell about the trip is that my new audi, that i bought from a swedish car dealer, seems to have some minor problems, like when you have 2000 kilos of steel in a tow hook, occasionally you will not go faster than 60-90 kilometer per hour in a highway...damn those eGR and shit like that. Gotta get id of those. and more power and...
