Good video of the rebuild running
This is as of today, new carb I think it sounds pretty good 🤘
Me and the Father in laws v-dubs all cleaned up for the car show🤘no wins but still a fun time
New dash gauge plates🤘running great after a carb swap yesterday as well
And yes I painted them like this lol came primed, only had time to hook up fuel today, car show first thing in the morning
It’s ALIVE!🧟♂️🤘
He’s alive and running strong, couldn’t be happier, need a stronger spring for my carb but damn it feels good to hear him fire right up🤘
Been down for 3 weeks, but it’s days away now! Heart transplant complete 🤘🧟♂️
Still gotta do some wire hook ups and run my plug wires,waiting on break in oil and plugs now, should have them tomorrow, thanks to my father law and all the work he put into it, the Frankenwagen should be rolling in the next couple days🤘
Got it back in and bolted up tonight
Only to realize I put the front engine rubber in upside down😡 need to flip that tomorrow and start hooking everything up and get my tins in. hopefully it won’t be long, pushing for a car show next weekend, fingers crossed 🤘
It’s now in reassembly!
Getting excited knowing Frankenwagen should be back on the road next week, thanks to my father in law! It’s pretty much a fully rebuilt 1600 now, the new hardware kit makes it shine🤘
Since the motors out I’ve been doing a few things while we wait on parts, added my new tin signs to the firewall, built a box for my 4 switch/usb ports and fabricated some stand offs for my oil cooler with added 8” fan 🤘 bored not being able to drive it😭
I thought the Gold zinc would look cool with the green🤷🏻
Bought a security camera mount lol I used it in reverse, where my catch can is, is supposed to clamp to a pole and where I mounted to the body is supposed to hold a camera, I thought it was brilliant 😂🤘
