THINGS THAT GO VROOM

GETTING CLOSER…

August 10, 2010 by Troy Leave a Comment

I’m banging away at ‘The List’. It’s getting shorter and the goon is getting closer to hitting the track. But whenever you think you’re going forward, there is a step backwards. Today I found out my new Water Temp gauge sending unit doesn’t fit the Wagon’s thermostat housing. Looks like some careful milling and a little JB Weld should do the trick. I’ve got the FireCharger system in after fabricating a bracket for the t-handle. The rear brakelines are now in using an angled fitting at the caliper. And since I’m running out of time, I decided to buy a TWM airbox instead of making one like I did for my last car. The fit is a bit too tight (a recurring theme in this build), but I’m sure a solution is just a good nights sleep away…
