Good things happen with friends. A big thanks to Toby (Scheel-Mann USA), Jonathan (Benchmark Vehicles Portland), Josh Harper (Willamette Blvd Auto Portland), Andy and sweet GF Nancy. Not in the photo Elsebeth (photographer) and Larry Harper.

Thanks everyone. A super fun time!

What a beauty. White is the best color for troopies, and those wheels are awesome to boot. Congrats on the rig.

Looks great, man! Might have to look into doing that to mine, too. BTW, do I see yet another Troopy outside? You've got an infestation there.

Not a whole lot in this post. I spent Saturday cleaning the engine bay. A before and after photo. You can't put what appears to be a new engine in a dirty engine bay.

The turbo came back rebuilt on Friday. I'll post a pic later but it too looks brand new.

I gotta see this thing in person when it's done. So envious of the alucab.

Never had a custom plate before but well, it was available....

Sick build. Can it be done for SAS? Let's
Do a road trip!!!

I haven't had anything to post lately. The project hit a slight delay as we waited for the turbo to come back from the rebuilder. It's been received and looks pretty good if I do say so myself. This should get us moving again.

A 1HDT will in fact fit in a Troopy.

It's been a while but the build is progressing.

Check out the custom motor mount and pad.

Relocated the brake lines to get them away from the heat of the turbo.

Check out the custom cross brace.

The radiator came back from the rebuild. Extra capacity was added to accommodate the 1HDT.

Test fitting for the AC Condenser bracket. A new one will be placed.
