Turbo Ghia - searching for bugs ;-)

I drove to kangasniemi to tear the fan apart, ( the fan was busted and it turned freely, even when the engine was not running... ) and to change for a better part... And after few hours i was able to test drive the ghia again, with my co-pilot (7-years old)  jimi... Jimi was very eager to get the ghia for a small spin, and when i got it to the third gear, and for some boost, the little boy was dead silent... Ok, some bugs made me stop the test, but it was worth the trip, because of jimis reactions before and after...

When getting back to the garage, jimi was able to get in to the tracktor with mr. Laitinen, and for a little boy, that tracktor drive was even cooler than the ghia ride... ;-) 

Theres some issues in the car that has to be fixed... But that will be another story... 

Btw, the car is now allmost "silent" after the fan-fix, getting better, but not in the "finish-line" yet. 

I will hope that we will get the bux out from the ghia... And...there will be a ballbearing hairdryer and a autotune or similar in the future... The car is looking good anyways!

ghia update - the INNO things. :-)

(inside joke) but the ex-sony-exploid ghia is pretty much coming together...

its currently in the interior shop, but in good hands. 

i´ll put some picks of the metamorphosis... in here...

the show years... with some serious equipment...

but that was in the wrong end... this is my first "better" ghia.

in the wasa-years it even went to the strip...

my vision was to make the body black, 

with red and white interior... with new 1 original type wiring 

(compared to the x3 wiring that was found in the car) 

stereo parts off, and a more street racer attitude.

... show and go. but needs to be a driver.

... so take the ghia and take off allmost everything

it looked partially nice, when it was just washed, but 

it really wasnt... :-) trust me.

heavy loudspeakers, heavy boxes...

aaaahhh... theres some nice wiring.

and some foam, everywhere... no wonder the 

door locks didnt work so well....

its been a while... jimi was pretty small boy...

...and sometimes even sleeped pretty well...

NO "GUTS" - NO GLORY

better!

even better!

one idea... not bad... suits you sir.

off to ohkola ranch. for some body repairs...

and for some paint...

... think after, why we just didnt re-wire it again, etc...

repair the bad parts and ....

ok, not the option in this case.

the king of ohkola - mika särkelä :-)

mika is pretty good with the sheet metal...

the colour seems to be changing...

darth wader is in the house!

flat black - is allways IN

but so is this too...

the inspector sez YES!

i say the same!

at sepänkatu...

kawell turbo came from waasa...

maybe if i could use the 912 engine instead?

looks like a car...

this will be the looks... mr sippo is giving a hand.

yeas... looks good!

and topped with some weld wheels...

this would be a good looking car.

and from the beginning, i´ve had the idea 

that it has to have a seat for jimi.

kawell, with 2332 cc...

from this point the car was trailered to Kangasniemi, to pekka laitinen,

and now its changing from a "lay-out" to reality...and a street car, i hope...

 its getting there, stay tuned...  :-)
