So the majority of my planned work for 2020 is actually on Murbella. With her engine dropped for maintenance and clean-up, it opens up the space and reduces the rear weight. Since this will all be up in the air anyway, it is the perfect time to no only do the rear disc upgrade I’ve…

Getting Żuczek ready to deal with the fuel issues
So I got Żuczek’s front up on stands to get access to the fuel tank outlet and try to drain what’s there and begin the process of trying to figure out where that water-contaminated fuel was coming from. While I was down there I noticed some things I was definitely not happy about. The main…
Goodbye Yellow!
So after a lot of back and forth over the year, and knowing that it is completely unrealistic for me to have 2 project cars given the space, my capabilities, and my income, I decided to put I Am Curious (Yellow) up for sale in the as-is roller/chassis that he has been in since the…
Żuczek – Discovering that my fuel supply problems are not resolved.
So I suppose I should be happy that I forgot to cap the rear tunnel fuel line exit before dropping Żuczek back down or else I would not have discovered something that is likely one of the major causes of my problems the past few months, as well as something I did not realize existed…
Żuczek – Dropping Ż’s AE engine for refresh!
So I had planned to delay this a couple of days but decided to at least pull AE engine out of Żuczek so I could start cleaning out the engine bay, assess what needs to be purchased to fully make the AE engine ready to go into the 74, and generally get things ready to…
It was just a matter of time…
So I put more miles today on Murbella looking for a stupid fuse than I did all of last year. There are many positives of having a convertible but what is really the most negative is the fact you are constantly hit with exhaust fumes while in traffic. It is disturbing because you can never…
When 90 minutes becomes 7 hours – A Subaru Brake Job
So my daily, the 2013 Subaru Forester, was in need for new brakes They had degraded recently and the one rotor was definitely warped. Now back in May I decided to purchase a set of PowerStop brakes on Amazon. I ordered a full kit using both their fitment tool and if I recall, actually looking…
Żuczek – Day 2 – Success!
So when I got home from work I immediately got Ż up on stands and started going through the fuel path. Tunnel line was clear. Line from fuel filter to tunnel was clear. But then… as I prepared for fuel to come pouring out of the line from under the tank… Nothing. I hooked up…
Żuczek – Troubleshooting – Day 1
So six months ago way back in October, I took Żuczek out to fill up his tank, get the stabilizer in him, and put him away for the winter. It was on that trip driving back home when he sputtered and died and I was left with having AAA come and tow him home. I…
