[paroxysm]

just thought I'd better start a thread for a project that I've been working on for about 9 years.
had a car in 99 i had done up fine

but one day the passenger door would not open,and said hey how about an engine swap, bought a 2.2 six and then realized 125hp was not enough, so a v8 became my goal. Destiny had other plans.

The car I had built for my wife was finished off by an eager srt4 neon

I was the driver had my leg broken in 3 places, but I lived.

mocking up stage. I replaced the bondo slante nose look with fiberglass fenders

now that 90% of the bodywork was done it was time to get the car to actually run, and just this last weekend I did get it running. The reason for calling it a stuka is the lysholm charger sounds like an air raid siren. I will post up a vid of it running when i get a chance.

I have been lurking for a while now but just got my parts to complete the passat tranny swap. Over the summer I built my shifter linkage (rough) out of old crap I had laying around (vw mk3 linkage) and my boxster shift cables.

I also finally got my mustang home here the 914 and it meeting again for the first time in years

I had to cut a hole in the garage to fit the mustang under the new deck I built for my wife, and then get it under there, for winters coming.

This last weekend I spent 5 hours under a passat grabbing my parts I've been waiting years, for while I built my motor. I've flashed up my 16v g60 but I think the fuel pumps dying because it screeches, and I have to prime the pump with a lot of ignition turns to have it only sputter and die on me. Sometimes I can keep it running for a few minutes but it will die if I hit the gas. When I first flashed it up it ran and I could even rev it, then it started to only run if I unplugged the coolant temp sensor. I'll try a new pump here after my new transmissions in.
