dennis and i were very buisy this weekend.. we did a lot of little things, man this all costs time. one of the things was we did the steering working..

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

we also overhaul the old bd fuel tank.. dennis lost some skin by doing it. so beware of fire if you playing with some rustprotecting stuff for fuel tanks. Wink

btw.. is the a trick how to fit the horn button? at the moment, it doesnt fit, but i guess we will handle this.

and can someone let me know, where the cables are going for the horn button? i´m not shure.. Confused

where are you going to blow the hot air to ? against the floorpanels?
I'm not sure about the efficiency of that setup!? Or probably that's the reason why there are no floorpans... Twisted Evil

you won´t believe what weekend we had.
first i drove all day to find matching oilsittings for my oilsystem.
then we pulled the engine out to repair the busted studd.. put the engine in again and looked for oil leaking, but unfortunately the damn oilfittings were leaking, because of didn´t matching the oilcooler (this must to be changed on monday) and not enough sealing tape..(this is now fixed) anyway.. after fixing the oilproblem we tryed to start the engine..

unfotunately the started had some problem with the 2110ccm... after changing 4 starters finaly we got the right one.. (thanks marco).

unfortunately i destroid the holder of that starter because it wasn´t enough space for a starter like this in my bd... so the mission vowo was over. because i don´t have any extra money to buy a new started.. Evil or Very Mad

we realy thought it´s all over now, but then i found out i can change the positions the holes from the starter

and then after fitting some grommets finaly the starter worked fine and then...... after 4 starter and three batterys later the engine starts! Very Happy

i can tell you this first hand.. words can descibe what dennis and i was feeling at that point! Cool

anyway.. the engine is running now, but needs some more love. unfortunately the og fuelpump doesnt work.. don´t know why, but we need to figure that out.

ok.. still 25 days to go.. and still alot to do.. but we are in time.

You´ve done so astonishing work so far! Don´t get discouraged by an alternator and it´s circumstances.

Dennis and you deserved it to be at VoWo 2010 with your porndoor. I´ll keep my fingers crossed for you guys.
