Here’s the promised update. We closed on our first house today and here it is! Sorry for the mess, we are moving in. Also, we have been living in our camper so it’s “messy” so excuse the mess please. We got 2.1 acres with this house so not a bad deal! I threw in a picture of the 2-piece hitch I built out of scrap to pull the ol’ camper. Take note that some pics below are thumbnails so you can CLICK them to make the BIGGER!

Fucking YouTube pisses me off:

Seriously. I’m glad we have “morals” to guide us. Notice the trashed out trailer park scum right behind the bar where this sign was posted. I’m sure Estacada has some top-notch dancers to entertain the local population. Damn.

Just finished the trailer wiring and it came out fantastic! Got brakes and all kinds of stuff now. Check it out! I’ll do a highway test tomorrow and report back. I have about 150lbs on the tongue weight but the trailer is so low it doesn’t shimmy at all. Torsion axles are AWESOME.

Damnation! I found this bad mu-fucka for $400 (the black one). Tore it down and restored it, took about 2 weeks. All original and only 1200 miles.

Bought this Passat TDI B4 for $1500. 180k miles and white doors, she’s a nice car. Interior is clean, car has new Proxies tires, brakes are fantastic, body is straight, and engine/transmission are titties. Three days after I brought it home I pulled the engine out and installed a VR6 clutch, timing belt kit, and all motor/transmission mounts. Runs fantastical except a strange surging problem at full throttle but hey, it was only $1500. I also slapped a hitch on it to pull the camper trailer, let’s hope it works out.

What the fuck is this thing anyway? I grafted an MB5 carburetor and exhaust onto the ol’ Hobbit with the help of a plasma cutter and some welding action. Also welded on permanent footpegs. She does 35mph now, 27mph was the old hobbit. Not bad for FREE. Why do I waste my time?

Here it sits in my front room getting re-assembled. Note the Mikuni VM26 carb sitting on the bench awaiting installation..
