White Lightening day?
Luck is when preparation and opportunity meet.๐
White Lightning is getting more than just a spring tune up!! ๐ looks like painters grinding is gonna help us with this project ๐Yeah, I got a bit more of a surprise than I was expecting when we started to dig into my Busโฆ.. I was hoping for a brake job and overall tuneup but as soon as we really started to dig in Franz noticed my oil cooler was leaking pretty bad, so we pulled the motor and then noticed that the crank was extra wobblyโน๏ธ๐๐ Bad News!!! But Iโm in the BEST PLACE for bad VW news๐ Motor is already stripped down and on a pallet headed over to Painters!!!! Pretty much dodged a bullet, my throw out bearing was on its last leg too๐ Iโm sure I was due for a break down this Summer in a really inconvenient spot!!!!๐ณ
Packing up the Baja.
Who let that homeless guy in the compound?๐
Baja RIPPED ย home! ย Thanks!!!!!!! Well, actually itโs slow as hell up the hills as usual but since Iโm running a little 1600 with big knobby tires, a huge roof rack and lots of gear itโs pretty zippy!!! Kinda wanna run up some Spring melt muddy roads outside of town!!!!๐๐๐๐
Good news! The lock-up issue must have been that crappy float filling a cylinder with fuel.
Sorry about white lightening. I hope we can get it back together in time for Moab.
Found some large 12โ ย frogger stickers for the race car paint scheme weโre going to do.
And some classic Marlboro sponsorship.
Other sponsors:
Air Jordan
Daisy air rifles
Draino
Natty light
super swamper tires
fly racing
Oh Rusty!!!ย ย Always a good time!!!
Boy I hope we can have you back together by Moab..ย I guess you could just bring the baja…

Called Painters, motor is there but it sounds like they will be at least a month out!!!! Crossed fingers they will be faster!!!๐๐๐๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐๐๐๐ค๐ค๐ค๐Baja is all good!!! I can rock a tent and make Moab!!!๐
Gotta call on the motor, canโt rush a project but I am REALLY hoping that the engine is good enough for a nice rebuild!!!๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
Fingers crossed for you Rusty!

Just got a call from painters they said my motor was in very good shape given that it was rebuilt 11 years ago. Bad news is my case is shot! ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉGave them the go ahead for a new case and they are going to also replace one bad head I had. Everything else was good for rebuild๐๐๐ So, except for an additional $1300 kick in the dick on my rebuild, White Lightnin will be rolling Soon!!!
๐ค๐ค๐คfor Moab!
We will build it if it comes.
Imagine all the miles youโll put on white lighting once itโs got a fresh engine!! I think you need to plan a big trip once itโs done!! ๐
the Baja will work great for Moab and perhaps be a little less stressful than taking your brand new engine out there ๐
