^^^^^ I was waiting for somebody to mention that I actually sold a VW!!!! ๐ย ๐ย ๐
Peet’s Sand Scorcher has made it behind the fence! I wanna see him tear into it today.
Pats got all kinds of chassis and engine parts, with plans to work this weekend.
Said brand new rebuild 1600cc, ceramic heater box baja header from Empi.
ย Forgot to throw it in the Baja but this is yours Pat!!!! ๐ย ๐ย ๐
Peets been working on it…. just not posting.. ๐ย ๐ย ๐
I can’t wait to be out in the desert ripping it up!!!! ๐ย ๐ย ๐
Never make someone a priority, that makes You and Option. ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ฅฒ
Pat bought a $500 unknown origin”rebuilt” engine from a guy who walked through the front door.
He decided it would be best to take it apart for cleaning/reassembly/new seals. It looked like it maybe ran once for about a minute…all the parts where new, and had nice machine work.
…But, whoever assembled the case forgot to install a couple main bearing to case dowel pins ๐ฏ Probably would have blown-up pretty quickly. Good call on disassembly peet!
Assembly happening today. Good old fashion empi parts because we have an account and can have parts in 3 days. Don’t let people convince you that everything empi is junk.
Glad it ended up in the right hands!!!!! ๐ย ๐ย ๐ย ๐ย ๐ ย Spring is ย gonna be FUN!!!!!!!!
I was being hopeful thinking I could just take apart my engine and reassemble without any issue since its “A brand new rebuild by a guy who knew what he was doing”ย ๐ย Well it turns out my case has been line bored and it didn’t have the right bearings. We have a pallet going Painters next week so I’m going send all my parts so I can have a Painters engine too
Peet got some 4″ and 6″ empi wheels. Rear tires are 30″ x 10.5″ efx motohammer for UTV….but they only measure 28″ Maybe they balloon out to make the difference once mounted and aired? Right now they look too wide and short.
Mickey Thompson 7 x 30 baja pro tires look sweet. Pat has decided to scrap this tire combo and go with BFG mud terrains in 30 x 9 and 215/75
Dope! Those rims look nice. And canโt go wrong with BFGs off road tires
us after hours hackshows just trying to โkeep up with the Jonesโsโ
Looks like Spring is coming early this year!!! Go Peet Go!!!!! ๐ย ๐ย ๐ ย Think John and I both need to spend some time on our off-roaders before weโre ready to hit some Colorado 4×4 trails!!! Gotta line up a KCW Buggy Spa weekend to get em dialed in!!! ๐ย ๐ย ๐
