1989 Fox Wagon diesel Panel Van Project

[Dutch]

got my 1.6D home tonight. tore the head off and found out it was seized.... had to tear into the bitch a wee bit more than i wanted tooooo, but oh well! all part of the game i suppose

That kinda sucks, but hey! If it rebuilds fine and cheap/free then its good! I remember my old caddy with it's 1.6d 4 speed engine and box. Get it up to 93mph and the heat will actually get that much and melt the exhaust! Strong engines, but the previous owner had lied to me about it at the time and said the timing belt was recently changed.... That was the end of that engine... Luckily i know a bit more about working on cars since then and check the timing belts regardless of what im told now!

KEEP THIS THING GOING BECAUSE IT'S SO AWESOME AND AWESOME

I didn't even know that these existed. Would love to see this take an OEM+ direction.

I have to hear the engine when it's in, small diesels sound so gnarly.

put in some good time with the 1.6 block, and a good buddy of mine, who owed me a little money, offered to pay to have the head checked out, cleaned up, and is lapping my valves and doing my stem seals. i guess giving him my ex girlfriends old fox for free wasnt a bad deal? haha. also talked to a good buddy of mine about how he cleaned up his 1.6 so well for his "smoking hare," and he helped me out a ton. super great guy, coulndt be more thankful to have met him. ill post up some pictures of his motor, aka, my goals haha








thanks for looking/following!

well.... in late 2014 i bought an e30 for the lols and had some good fun all through out spring/summer/and some of fall in it until i lost my license in it and ended up scrapping the car, MAINLY due to it having no floors and hacked up patched strut towers...



so, as it was fairly warm today, i decided to load my back pack up with some tools and walk my fat still unlicensed ass 2 miles from my house to where i keep my car to tinker around a little bit. and.... what do you know.... NO FLOORS!!! hahaha... cant win em all i guess.
