The WZ

It’s been a very, very busy month. Haven’t kept up around here in a while. Work has gone into double overtime, and my Wicked Zuk project has been eating up the rest of my time.

So, I took the WZ to the con a few weeks ago. The engine blew up. Come to find out, it was junk from the beginning. The block is a defect from VW, and it has cracks all over it. There are other problems with it too. I totally got ripped off on it.

Anyway, long story short, LD on Reno4×4.com gave me a new engine so I can get things going. I’ve had the engine out like four times already. Always some small issue. New rear seal, new clutch, reseal the pan, twice, timing a whole bunch of times.

I finally have it back in the rig, and I was going to try starting it tonight, but I’m still at work. So, didn’t get a chance today. Maybe tomorrow. I sure hope it runs this time. I’m tired of pulling it out. If it runs, that’s great. But I still need to buy a new 90° hydro hose adapter that I broke pulling the pump off so many times. ARG!

Well, here’s a pic from when we got it running the first time…

    It looks like only the driver has a seat belt, are you trying to throw dad down the hill???? LOL

    It has belts on both sides. Dad only wears one side due to his heart thing. So he get’s the 3 point where I have the four point. ;-)
