[DjDazer]

The one connected to hose (Disconnected) is the Radiator Cooling Fan Switch!

Mine's the same for now till i get it connected
But be sure you and i check if fan's running or youll have some big issue's

[DjDazer]

Good thing cause now ive gotten them connected even better!

Funny how you posted those 2!
Ive been working on my rabbit and trying to get it restored to factory condition's!

Width wise, I'll take a real measurement tomorrow tho

If I had the TT fob I would be ok, but it's on my other set of keys at home. Lmk soon or I'm going to take a small sheet like the 1/8" plate

[.:Hinrichs:.]

yeah my fan does run so i guess its connected to something and working some other way, i have a bently on order but its backordered

today ill be replacing my valve cover gasket with the updated rubber gasket and studs along with going to aptuning to grab a duckbill and hitting kohls german auto to see what he has for sale

[.:Hinrichs:.]

rubber gasket installed, nuts are properly torqued but it won't stop leaking

But got a pic of the duckbill

Nice to have met ya Jim.

Now get those wheels dialed in just right

[.:Hinrichs:.]

Nice meeting you as well Paul, hope to see the rabbit again soon

Some updates will happen tonight finally, plan is install the coils and drop plates if the bolts are still good, may have to wait on new ones from terry, or just flip the axle

Ordered tires this morning, going with 165/50 since its kind of my daily for now

[crsmp5]

i hate when people have no ****en clue to what they speak...



the fan switch is BUILT IN THE RAD NOT a coolent neck... that is to turn OFF the ac if it is over heating..

I like the sound of this

[.:Hinrichs:.]

[PLAYED TT]

Def a good choice. You need to move those tools ASAP haha

[.:Hinrichs:.]

tires will be here today, hopefully I can get them mounted today or tomorrow...the one huge rear is rubbing

[.:Hinrichs:.]

Finally some updates

[James Himself]

[.:Hinrichs:.]

new TT exhaust installed today, went 2" for now.....also bought a turbo setup which will be fun to install i think, very happy with how the exhaust sounds

had this laying around, easily removed incase i get tired of it

[/QUOTE]

2 from a local gtg the other night....did swap back to a small duckbill tho untill i can fix the deep one and mount it better

[Chrom0sexual]

centras look money

[.:Hinrichs:.]

centras look money

Thanks, very happy with them

[Road Boss]

for the centra's.

[.:Hinrichs:.]

totally fogot i had a build thread, finally got around to uploading some pics of my progress over the last few months

turbo installed and running great...still need to make a better oil return line and some sort of intake along with moving the fuel filter






next up was the down pipe i attempted to make myself...worked okay to get it to a show but the fitment wasnt good and it rattled like crazy and sat very low




then this finally showed up



also made this along the way which i know most of you will hate...someday ill put a real exhaust back on it





and finally doing some real work, found a decent hole along the rocker and decided to fix it...doesnt look good but its under carpet and is solid





random one from a while ago...still wanna get the rear lower and get some different wheels

no one wants to inspect the truck...go figure

guess ill have to do something about the holes that the body has....hmm anyone have sugguestions other than welding in new metal just to get it to pass?

Weld in new metal, do it right, do it once.

[.:Hinrichs:.]

Weld in new metal, do it right, do it once.

was trying to not have to do that so i dont have to repaint the whole thing

[rabbito]

looks to be all on the rockers.....Weld and use a spray can of matching paint up to the trim line. White hides a lot, so it wont be to bad.

Oh yeah and now you have one more hole to weld up in the bed....Someone took a wrong turn with that exhaust.

[benjaminobscene]

agreed with above. you've already started welding new metal in floor. might as well finish the rest. off-white spray bomb looks a lot better than a caddy rotting away.

Yeah i know i screwed that one up kinda bad, bad communication between me and my friend

hopefully i can get proper power to my house soon enough to start doing this, i may end up repainting the whole thing to make last longer in the end

[PLAYED TT]

I like where this is going

[PLAYED TT]

I think we need more updates on this.

[čajo]

ou yea Cllasic

[tangerine_coupe]

Just out of interest, did you weld underneath floor as well? I have a similar thing going on with mine that needs some attention.

[absentee]

love it

[Chrom0sexual]

nice to see you still around with this

[.:Hinrichs:.]
