[Smokey Eddy]

First of all, it is very nice to see american guys to work with old german engineered Turbo Diesel (IDI) stuff, mainly in that crasy professional way i see here.

And Canadians! we may be few in numbers but we count too!

Dear all,

i have had a week vacation, so i could make some proceed on my diesel race car.

The main time i have worked on the suspension and brake sytem.

On the front axis, i have get my adjustable (camber and caster) strut bearing and could assemble the complette axis incl. the brake. I have also installed PU bearing for the control arm.





I hat some issue to install the strut bearings on the suspension, but could fix that.









I have pull all parts to max. negative camber, thats why it looks so extrem.  





Knowing, that this will bring no proceed, i wand to know how it looks with my rims. The rims are 14" and fit radial with the brake, but for axial fitting, i have to use 20mm plates (picture with 23mm plates).  










On the rear axis, i have mashined wheel hubs from the stock brake drum, so that i could use every VA brake disk. Actual status is to manufacture a brake mounting adapter. I have also installe negative camber plates and a adapter plate, which bring the rear axis down, if the car is lowered.


























Here is a link to all pics:

Dear all,

first thanks for your nice comments, it is good to hear, that my own *** is also interessting for other guys.

I good make some process on the weekend, my fia approved seat comes on friday i could nearly finish to install it.
On the other side i have also received the cast exhaust manifold from 53 willys and had began to work on my custom intake manifold. The good new is, that there will be no collision between the intake- (from VW LT 6 cylinder NA) and the exhaust manifold and the tubo. The bad new is, that the MK1 stock turbo (some kind of garrett) has lots of internal cracks in the housing.

I have compared them with my smaller BMW (524 TD, 2,5ltr.) stock turbo (K24) and have to say, that both are very similar from housing and compressor and turbine wheel diameter, although the bmw has 50% more swept volume. I will come back with some new pictures.








Best Regards

Dear all,

i have remount the engine and after pulling the head, i has to realize, that there was water in cylinder 2, wich caused corrosion.
Anyhow, after two weeks with oil and diesel, i could remove the corrosion with very fine sandpaper and WD40.

I have also cleand the sealing face of the engine block.

Next step will be to fit the shifting device.

Best Regards
Clemens

It looks to me like there are more of you here than anyother type, do you all know eachother 
I remember back in the 60's when I was in the Navy an older lady saw me in my uniform one day and  said, "My Grandson is in the Navy too, do you know him?

[Alleslowbuged]

Hello,

not much process in the last weeks. In the moment i am workin on the gear shiftbox and the
conection to the gearbox. Also i have mount a hydraulic (fly off) rear brake, but i am not happy
with the position and i think i will change it again.

My cylinder head is a company for port ant polish, i shedule to get it back at the beginning of next
week. I will add some picture when it arrives here.
