Jacob's Goon Build - Now L19 powered.

[Laecaon]

Here is the Camaro that my Goon displaced while drying for 2 days.

 

 

The V-Rod that shares the Garage with the Camaro:

at first I was like ..... :hyper:

 

 

 

then I was like. ..... :cool:

 

 

 

 

but then I saw that VW,,, , and now I'm like ..... :sick:

[Laecaon]

I love this forum's hatred of VWs. Makes me laugh. That car is great, super comfy, reliable (1 water pump since owning it from '03 to present (I was racing though some mountains with a full car of people, too much stress)). 30 mpg, power everything, handles like a dream (I like the Goon's handling more). I have yet to drive a modern car that I like to drive more than that Jetta. Driven plenty of cars too.

[Laecaon]

Cool stuff

 

Im not 100% sure what this is, but I believe this is The clutch cylinders and something else. Any help identifying these would be great!

 

 

And here is the GOON! Mostly put together for the outside. Inside needs all the panels (Im gonna be redoing them).

 

Notice the roof rack?

[Laecaon]

And yes I know, I got overspray on the windows.

(1) Clutch Master Cylinder

 

(2) Clutch Slave Cylinder(s)

 

(1) Brake Pedal set

 

How many miles on your VW ?

 

Are ya gonna finish white-walling your tires :P

[Laecaon]

VW has 120k.

 

HAHA, I almost finished white walling them. I need to find some rims keeping in mind I want to do the 280zx strut swap. So these wheels will hopefully be gone soon.

[Laecaon]

Oh and all those parts came with my car. I had a crate with random bags in it. So I just wasn't sure what this stuff was.

[78kingcab]

when you coming over to spray mine.. :D

[jun]

I also have a VW Jetta, VR6. 2000, millenium silver, leather, 5 speed. Great car when I don't want to drive the truck or wagon. It is also 100% stock, and although it's very hard to keep it that way, it is nice to have a dependable car that you can drive normally. So there is at least one VW fan here, besides you!

 

Wagon is looking great, keep it up! I say whiteout those tires, you're halfway there anyway ;)

[Laecaon]

Two more things.

 

My car was bought at Camino Datsun, At least thats what the plate holder says. Forgot to take a oic. Which brings me to point 2

 

School starts tomorrow. My car is 95 miles north. Dont worry there will still be progress.

[Laecaon]

Which clutch slave cylinder would be appropriate to use I was going to put a 5 speed in?

[Laecaon]

Also, should I rebuild these cylinders or should I buy new ones from rockauto?

[NCRmtrsprts510]

And yes I know, I got overspray on the windows.

 

 

i have primer overspray exactly on the same spot on my drivers window too!! :P

 

because its the spray that went through the door handle holes right onto the window... :rolleyes:

[Laecaon]

Im gonna try gasoline and or steel wool 000 (super fine) to scrub the paint off.

[INDY510]

a flat razor blade scraper works good....

 

 

you need to finish spraying those whitewalls....... :rofl:

[I'm BLUE]

^^^ +1 , finish white-walling those bad boys :lol:

 

As far as clutch slave cylinders ,,, I don't know the correct one for either

 

PM datsun mike for your transmission application , #'s off cylinder , and the pic

 

And for use of the slave cylinders ,,, the darn things are so cheap new that it is irresistable each time !!!( rebuild kits sorta work , you are suppose to hone the cylinder just a touch ,,, and the hone tool costs more than the cylinder itself , but the actual rebuild kit should cost $3-$5

 

If it were me ,,, I would buy a new one IF it was going to be a daily driver ( don't want to be on the side of the highway because of a $10 part , this happened to me in my old RX-7 :rolleyes: ---> had to get out and "pump" the slave every 4-5 shifts :unsure: :lol: ),,, see how badly pitted the cylinder actually is and make the call !

 

You can just through some seals in it for just moving it around the yard ;) ( check the condition of your clutch master cylinder at the same time , if both are weak , than one can blow the other out )

[Jeebs]

That paint looks great!!!!

 

 

What is the color code?

[Laecaon]

I dont know the color code right now other than what is on this picture:

 

Its a Subaru Color. All I did was go to the paint shop and pick the brightest white I could.

 

Next time I go home, dont know when that will be (a week or 2 or 3), I will grab the code for you.

[Laecaon]

And who gave me negative rep on the first post? Really? What did I do wrong that you dont approve of? Im not radio, I dont thrive on negative rep.

[420n620]

is that better :lol:

 

 

 

edit :: :confused:

WTF, I'm not the one that gave you the negative rep.

Oh well, shit happens. :hmm:

[Laecaon]

is that better :lol:

No that is not better! I went from 23 rep down to 10 in 3 hours or so and have made like 2 posts. This really does not make me happy. Rather mad actually.

[M.Creer]

Nice build so far.

[Laecaon]

Nice build so far.

 

Thanks!

 

I suppose a minor update should be posted. Currently, I am at school (1.5 hours away) and have no money. Financial aid has been a problem. As soon as that hits, you should see some more progress done.

 

Im need to respray my roof :( somehow rust came through the paint, but not when it was in just primer... and only on the roof...

 

Gonna be looking at redoing the interior. Gonna be looking at doing a strut swap, getting a new windshield, a 5 speed swap.

I want to paint the window frames a dark grey/ black color, add some black/ dark grey BRE stripes on.
