The shaved 88 Shitaco

[got5onit]

On the CIS cars the whole fuel system gets contaminated. The tanks the least of the worries.Usually the plunger in the fuel distributor starts to seize up. Also the injectors get plugged up. To be honest your best option is to go to the wreckers and try to find a 16v rocco. look inside the tank. if its clean grab the whole injection setup. I've been through that many times.

Great job on the build by the way.

No rocco for IA. New tank and in-tank pump fixed absolutely nothing.

harlequim for IA?

Do 1.8T swap. Also RWD swap. Go all out.

New tank is in and threw some fuel in. Of course the battery was dead last night. Going to jump it and hope for the best today. If its in good running order I'm taking it to IA this weekend.

i'll be there in the e30.

Basically stopped at this point and can't do anything... Roommate is doing a TDI swap on his Mk2 to all the tools and jack stands are in use. I just can't start tearing stuff apart unfortunately. I can't afford to have a shop do this either (nor do I want to). I've never taken my cars to a shop before, it's weird to me. So I'm stuck just looking at this car and not being able to do anything about it.

Awesome.

I know im not a very good mechanic (its more me being lazy than unskilled) but I absolutely don't feel comfortable having someone else work on my car. Its weird exactly

On a side note I'm pretty sure I've used all my bandwidth on photobucket. Fuck.

get to work, hippie.

[harlerocco]

Didn't a bodyshop do all the work on it? :-p

I'm not far behind you, I'm painting mine tomorrow.

well... the body and paint work. i really wanted to do it all myself (i've painted before, and been wanting to get better on a bigger project) but the body was so fucked... there was no way i could do it.

gas tank is here. shiny.



fuel sending unit should be here monday.

nope, looks like all is well with the fuel pump assembly. Just throw it back in and your good! kidding, its done. Car's looking sweet dude, hopefully it'll run like a dream considering how much money, time, and work you put into it.

[M.Doban]

I'm so happy that you got to drive this again! It's a great feeling.

Now get that tank drained and cleaned and find a new fuel pump assembly!

[Vwdubluvin]

man this makes me want a rocco onthe side so bad! good build
