Put your projects up. No matter what it be! Sample of the color I want my accent to be. It rattle can cobalt blue metallic with a metallic silver base. New clutch forks, clips, bushings, and barely used throwout bearing. Also have a oversize racing clutch I got for free but its already put on in the flywheel. Yes, they all work, but the water waive is for my oil. These motors don't have coolant, air cooled. Why they are so cheap and Badass. Got some back fenders and a one piece fiberglass good that is created with high fenders already. Free! Checked to see if they would workout. Taking them off again for trimming soon. Tomorrow I'm buying rear shocks and small filters for the breather lines. Then buying metal for away mounts, weld them in, replace the engine, then good mounts and headlights. Boom, ready for Oct. 5th desert race! Rollcage after this trip. Gotta practice my dirt 2 driving!

Hey man, I love build threads. It also helps keep the build going. Motivation is needed sometimes. Looking good, I like your colbolt blue color choice. Ya, when you put that engine in the rear should squat a little bit.

For sure it does. Talking to my cousin last night, he's got discount on almost anything but roll cages. Fuel cell, shocks, parts in general. Said to use him anytime. Possibly after October imma be investing into it. We'll see. But excited for its first trip. We got 4 race cars to chase for, I may be useful. Lol.

Dropping the motor back in today. Might paint a few things too. Also, set the rear brakes to activate first and stronger then the fronts. With the weight displacement in the back over the rear end, gotta be able to still steer while under hard braking. Last night we had a tire changing contest. Used 2 outta the 4 cars. Helluva good time. Sorry about the darkness. Lol.

So, got the engine installed, brake lines bled, and wires all hooked up again. Problem, the front wheel cylinder crapped out on me during adjustment time. Hoping I can get one this weekend. Dammit. But welding in seats and front bumps stops Friday afternoon... Hopefully. Forgot to take a picture of the engine all installed again. Soon guys, soon.

Its not like most newer modern cars, all the brakes fail when one gives out. So I bleed the air outta the lines but never had a solid pedal. That explained why. Lol. RC cars tonight, no progress on.... HUMP DAY! Lol

Make sure you did not swap the calipers. That will cause them not to bleed. They should have a stamp indicating L or R. Mine were swapped when I got my Ranger.

Actually, vw only has different sizes, but can be placed on either side. Good looking out. Imma have to remember this on my Toyota tacoma in the future. You da man tork.
So because of this whole government shut down bullshit, the B.L.M. (bureau of land management) decided to cancel having the race in Barstow. The event is now at glen Helen, and instead of a 25 mile lap, its only 6 now. So, my rush just went out the window. Sons of bitches!
