taking the ghia to helsinki...

the orange bug will stay at saukkola for a while...

got to try to fix it there...

the weather wasn't the best, but the rain 

took most of the dust away...

the race buggy was not easy to move as there is a spool...

got to go to the garage to clean up...

but now i can start to locate the problems in the ghia...

at least when I'm in a better shape...

 

new "lay-out" for the turbo-ghia

i drove to 506 kilometres today to see my black ghia & bring some parts for a mock-up.
i had an idea how to put all the stuff in the engine bay, but when i was trying to make ém there as i wanted, i had to change the plans, for a more easier lay-out, but the best part, is that we can proceed with this new plan. the water/air cooler will be behind the right tail light area, the t04 60-1 turbo will get a longer 90 bend to fit with CB hideaway header, the intake manifold will get a 90 bend over the alternator, after that it will get the butterfly valve and after that comes the cooler, from the cooler to the turbo we will put the dump valve... we will have to get a tank for the cold water, and the radiator also... but in a week the car goes to a welder that will make all the mods, to the brackets, header, injectors, etc...so that the parts can be bolted to the car ...for good. one part that we managed to put in its place, was the wastegate, this is the number four.... huh. check out the pictures... you will get the idea anyway.

turbo garrett t04 60-1

Getting pretty much ready!!!!

For my eyes it looks hard as nails, but some people wont like it. ;-) i hope that this stays like this... And if theres some mods after all, they would be under the lid, maybe the pauter-machine? ...But the oldschool turbo setup looks so right there. Uuh aah... I would need a list to the drivers side, contact me if you got window lists...

Ghia progress!

This looks good! Wow!
