Hillfolk'r

You need to post this stuff on the GTD site. Many need inspiration over there too.

[KingHillfolk]

yea i should attempt a major cut n paste.
gtd site? do u mean vwdiesel.net?
i gotta contact those dudes and see if i can keep my old screenname.
i got some nice steel for the rear hub spacers.dads been workin on em during the day
i got the brakes redone on the backing plates.
probably tomorrow nite ill give the beam a final coat of paint and or do some more rear brake lines so i can get the tank back in soon.i can only go up to the shop every other night during the week or else mrs.hillfolk gets very upset with me

[RabbitJockey]

aren't you the guy that used to post the old lady with the hairy cat?

[KingHillfolk]

hey does anyone still have that pic????
yea that would be me...id post that pic all day here,but not on diesel.net,that place is sacred!!!
but id like to use that for a profile pic
yea it went up to her belly button rofl!!

[8v-of-fury]

yea it went up to her belly button rofl!!

dead sexy.. lol

[KingHillfolk]

ooh ooh. got some painting done,and dad got a hub spacer done,he was sweatin it a little but i knew he had it handled..
action pic
believe it or not,we got that bridgeport for free,we just had to transport it

the local bolt place gave me the wrong bolts,10mm too short.good for mockup and checking the work but no gofor final assembly....

and i should get another can o' paint or 2 for a little more durability...

then,i was thinkin,how do i plug the ugly holes?maybe some red capplugs to match?
nah...id like a couple of mk2 vw trunk emblems...like my old 2 piece tube bumper on my caddy where i capped the ends with mk1 vw emblems.....same but different...i knew mk4s were good for somethin...from the hubcaps...a little big tho...

[RabbitJockey]

i know how i'd plug them holes

[pho]

aren't you the guy that used to post the old lady with the hairy cat?

Any pics?

[RabbitJockey]

It's forever burned in my memory, but I can't upload it from my brain. The unforgettable bearded cat

[KingHillfolk]

i know how i'd plug them holes

with a hairy cat?
i did some searching for that pic a little and i think i need to icepic my eyes out.and the memory in my brain. .it was a scary jungle out there man...glad i made it back


the rear suspension is all installed...im usin my mk3 tank..one hole for the filler neck bolts wasnt drilled out so i did it....


does anyone know if the senders resistances are the same between mk2 and 3???the senders are different looking thats for sure...

[KingHillfolk]

got the tank in tonite..finally


drilled a hole in the bulb holder to put in an amber 4 bulb 194 style led for a rear fog too

i got probably 6-8-10 hours of stuff till i can ride round the airport...
put on the v belts,run the brake lines to the front,hook up the fuel lines,bleed the brakes,put the interior in...bunch of little stuff like that...hopin within a week or 2 at the most
then the fun part of the dmv crap to get it on the road.

[KingHillfolk]

yea i ran into some real crap the other nite..i noticed the power steer lines from the pinion to the rack were always "wet"
well i wiped them with a rag and the lower one is a leaker
guess what? they are NOT avalable unless you buy a new rack.i figured i was screwed so i cut the leaking line off to remove the fittings to see the flare style..it resembles a double flare,but flat on the end.and theres a teflon gasket in the rack...
of course the top pinion line is in the way of putting a 6 point socket on the lower fiting.if i bent it id have a leak on that crusty bastard....then i had a idear...climb under the mk3 parts car and see whats up...guess what? same lines,and they were in fair condition....
i got out the blue tip wrench and heated those suckers on the mk3
one line wanted to stick in the fitting and twist...so more heating and cursing that stupid halogen lamp that kept burning my arm,and all the soot from my 6 inch long downpipe..after an hour of that i got my mk3 lines...
i was tired so i called it quits for the eve...ill put em in tomorrow,and finish bleeding the brakes...maybe put it on the ground tomorrow evening and if im lucky finish the belts and test drive,if not on saturday for sure


u been warned...these arent avalable unless you buy a rack...unless someone says otherwise.......


heres a pic of the" flare" on the end..at first i was hoping i could hillfolk em with a double flare and crank the wee out of em...probably not a good idear




heres the lines i stole from the mk3

[KingHillfolk]

sootyvag lives......heres some pics on the ground...finally...pm me and ill email ya the maiden voyage vid
no exhaust,grille or taillights but hey it drives

ill try and post the vids,but i dont know which links work for photobucket

http://static.photobucket.com/player...8-17-24-44.mp4

[KingHillfolk]

well..i got the headlights working correctly and hooked in some relays..
got all the city lights workin too and test fitted the grille
this is just the city lights(headlights/turn signals with citylights from bfi)


up in the grille yoe with sootyvag


unsure on what do do with the sidemarkers yet,so they are just installed,not wired


gotta turn up the pump to make it sooty,and permanently install the grille spoiler

[KingHillfolk]

well......
i got plates yesterday...sootyvag is on the road.......the end!!!
lol yea no.....
rolled around to the house last nite,and got a horn toot from" the mk4 punks" in poughkeepsie.....
just like how stella got her groove back,now i got my vw p**is back,and its a big one
i gotta do stuff like the raingutter weatherstrip,and trunk also
put the carpet and recaros in,and set the toe.
that will make it more civilized
haahaa i rolled home slow and tried not to but i dont think i was doin the 45 speed limit.i gotta try the gps to see speedo error

[KingHillfolk]

i be rollin all over.i got my vw penis back finally.i got the recaros in and the carpet back in.
i do have a bad bearing in the alternator which im gonna try to fix today,i got an extra i can try or use parts from.
i still gotta wire up the power to the seats,put the rear seat in,put the rear door panels in,and the passenger side door panel too...
and before it rains i really gotta do the raingutter weatherstrips that i got from vintage rubber
the trunk seal i got from them was nice quality stuff,so i expect the raingutter to be the same

[TealBucket]

Love the work thus far! Keep it up!

[FaithInMkIII2.0]

Old VW diesels AND airplanes in one thread??!! Love it!

Here are a couple of VW's in front of a hangar at my dad's place! Behind that door is a 1947 Stinson Voyager, still powered by its sketchy old Franklin engine.

[KingHillfolk]

Thanks guys...yo im diggin that pic....franklin engines r sweet!! So smooth runnin
i love stinsons..see the red one? Its a 108 with like 400 hrs on it..for sale 5k
my dad has a 46 luscombe,and is in the middle of an rv-4 build with like a 220hp engine.
that should be fun
skyacresairport.com
yea now we have the new hangar,its time over the winter to get back on the 79 rabbit i got with the tdi-m
goal?
mid 13sec 1/4s,and 50 mpg...
not hard when ive already ran lo 14s with it and just need some traction.2.4sec 60ft times are unacceptable,but fun.
im probably gonna leave sootys engine alone.slow and low.i got a td setup for it i could put on but thats if i got the time.heh i was throbbin on sooty last night,redlining every gear driving some backroads and burnin corners like a madman...
im impressed how wel it handles,it feels 7/8 like a mk1 gti to me!
no more back end comin out,just traction!
im stripping my 98 tdi jetta for parts and an electronic engine swap into a buddies rabbit down the road.any ideas on things to keep?
Engine trans wiring,dash cluster,trans tunnel,various brackets.


Hey id like to put the mk3 trunk popper in sooty,has anyone done this?
maybe add a gas strut so it opens automatically?
as long as i can do it without defacing sooty.
i cant drill or cut one hole in sooty,its sacrilege to me.
maybe next i would like that jom hood strut kit,but i see i gotta drill holes.
maybe i can make some bolt on brackets for them?

[KingHillfolk]

Im trying to make sootyvag proper. Its not enough yet haha.
Sorry bout the slow shift, its a little hard to shift and hold the phone and smoke a ciggie and ball a cup of coffee sometimes

[theman53]

Almost to the level of black smoke racing LOL

[8v-of-fury]

Fast shifts are bad for the synchros anyway lol.

[KingHillfolk]

Dude. Franklins are nice and smooth. My dad had a stinson too years ago. Nice pic!
May as well keep it airport related
Here was the maiden voyage
http://youtu.be/z1WvspmAB1E

Then i had to adjust the fuel.

http://youtu.be/oO3tYekrq5c


Then i had to test it.

Enjoy

[fast84gti]

Is it done, yet?

[KingHillfolk]

Nope. Sootys never done.sooty will need a rotisserie resto in 5 years I estimate..... And the 79 I highly doubt that next summer it'll be done either. Hopefully by winter 14 if I'm lucky. Then you know I'll daily it for sure. Especially in December. It's not a problem. Whereever It starts to rust again just cut it out or paint over it.

[8v-of-fury]

It's not a problem. Whereever It starts to rust again just cut it out or paint over it.

I'm in the same boat, car hasn't been "done" since I got it in 2007.. haha
