Looking good!
Got more pics of the Derby?

There is no Derby in that pic, there are 3 Golf 1s, one Jetta 1 and one 1975 Audi 80 GT, the car I suspect you believe is a Derby.

:o Audi 80 it is....

shame on you Michiel! Look at the C-pilar: that's no Derby (allthough they look very very similar)..


@ Topic: Wow wow wow wow.. you will need to sell those other cars to make room for all the trophy's you'll be winning.. and don't forget the bucket 'n sponge, to wipe off people's droooool..

Hehe..thanks! ;)

The other cars are not mine.. We are 5 guys and 1 girl that share this garage.
So if I sell them...... :)

:redface: Thats the only (small) difference you can see on this picture..

A "little" update...

I am now able to drive the car :D
I started the engine during the night... yes, I worked all night! :eek:

The car is now almost finished. So this sunday I will post pics of it (in the evening). ;)

As promised... here are some pictures ;)

I was able to drive the car to the event today because of problems with heat.
Tried to fix it last night en early this morning, and it looked like I managed to fix it, until the went dead :( Will fix the engine during the week to be ready for Bug Run in sweden in two weeks...

Incredeble :D

R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

that mirror is GREAT, what kind of mirror is it?... the overall look of your car too!!!

still some ciritcs :D (otherwise this post would be the same as everybody else's)... maybe a spacer in the back? but you thought of that too right?

and your top does not look good at all :( how is that possible?

I am going for spacers, but I didn`t have time to buy them last week.
(25mm spacers)

The top is better now because now it is adjusted ;)

I had some topless pictures on my mobilephone.. here u go :)

Are your seats in 'sleeping' mode?

caribian style....:D

KL-EEN 1 was built by another Norwegian, but is now sold to Sweden :(

really sweet motor,not been on in ages and its a pity all the build pics have gone :(

Roll-bar / No Roll-bar?

What's with the roll-bar? Seems to be there when the roof's closed.. What trick did you pull there?

Weird looking airride:




Don't most airridekits regularly come with 'bagpipes'?

The rear uses aircylinders. This because of lack of space.

All pictures are back. I had to copy them from my old server. :)

Gotcha ;) I never sold the car. Just stored it at the workshop until my motivation came back.
:D

The roll-bar is removable. I split it and stuck it in the trunk when the roof is down.
And install it again when the roof is up ;)
Check earlier posts regarding this...

Long time since last update. I haven`t done anything since late 2005, but today I startet up this project again.










So.. what`s happening?
The next weeks I will do some big changes to this project.
- Motor-transplant (TurboDiesel engine)
- AirRide :D

I will receive my ariride within 2 weeks. I borrowed my friends airride today to check what I need to do for lowering the kit even more.













Removed the old engine today ...





I`ll keep you updated =)

Don't even think about NOT updating us. :)

After I removed the engine I started cleaning the gearbox. As you can see... It need some TCL :eek:



I have to take it somewhere else to wash it with hot, steamy water :)



Later today I am going to pick up my new engine. :D

Looking great!!! nice that you started up your project again!!

Got to love the airride :D

take some brake cleaner or bakingovencleaner.. spray it in with bakingovencleaner..let it sit there for a night.. spray it again and then hot water

Engine in da house...
Today I went to pick up my new engine. It`s a 1.6L turbocharged dieselengine. It`s completely rebuild and tuned ;)
Should be fun driving later this summer =)



I will not install the engine in the car before after the airride-installation.



I am going to modify the airride so I can drop the car to the ground.
This require some more modifications to make extra room for the driveshafts.



I am going to make two mods to the frontstruts. This will make them drop 35mm extra.
The rest of the extra drop is done by "lowering" the struttowers.



One of my friends visited me and he had something for me... the bra for my "dailydriver" =)

and the madness goes on.. keep us updated

your daily cabs minted as well mate, :-)
