Der Violet ground beetle - project - Sinikiitäjäinen (Carabus violaceus)

 There's something special in this bug. the wbx- engine. its the 2.1 liter, with injection.  inspected with that too. BUT, the engine OR the injection is dead. will see... i´ve been tinkering with this for a while, and one repair shop tried it also for 2 years. (don't know how long they actually tried it) but its interesting for sure. I also tried to eliminate the injection parts and get a twin carb setup, normal distributor and fuel pump. but there's something there that is bugging this beetle. ok, i took it to a shop, with my maxxecu parts, and maybe this beetle is getting a second life after all. i would love to drive a bug for a while. and as i do have 3 turbo setups, one might guess what is happening later on. if it will run. stay tuned, this smells interesting.

stocker turbocharged?

 just mocking-up some parts, 

but looks promising, the intake needs some modification, 

but this could be worth the try. :-) stay tuned.

 

Tinkering with the two wheelers...

my harleys carb, after 5 years sleep.

Jimis kawasaki kx85, got a problem...

our guess was that it cut off

and we were right, marks in the cylinder, 

and the piston missed a part.

gentleman - start you engines!

the 1915cc engine project is gone, to be in casimir´s bus...

i hope that it will give some smiles when it's running.

My panel van makes me happy and feeling great, it goes like a go-cart. 

Have to change the oil and the filters too, and also check the fuel lines...  

didn't go as hoped

got to find what is wrong :-(

 

parts for sale!

 need to build a 2789 cc engine? or a 2332cc engine? need new wheels? or drums with 2 bolt patterns? fenders for a porsche? i will have some parts for you. because i want to get some projects forward.

 This might be the smallest vw engine in my place for the moment. 

we got the engine running, but the carb leaked some, so we have to get a new one.

and the engine tins also, and a better muffler too. 

i got the ghia also back to the garage.
