Wypple's Home Garage In the last few days I wanted to start with this kind of "documentary series" of my future builds, after saying that I continue presenting myself, my name is Lucas Fiorotto (most known by Wypple), i'm 20 years old and I live in Argentina, since I finished high school I started studying as a audio technician, in the process I got a job at a gas station (only helping in easy things), in that way I earned the necessary money to start a project, of course I am a car enthusiast s

VR6 swap when UwU

-Can be my frustated dream? xD, you know what, I like the idea but here in Argentina there are like 5 or 6 cars with that engine, in a nutshell: it's almost impossible, However in the next years I can manage to get one.

[center]Big News![/center]

[/color]

[center]After a couple days without posting any updates (was too busy with school things) there are some 3-point ones! To begin, the main buddy, the now painted Ford 32', Thursday I received a message from the bodyshop guy saying that I could take the car to my house, on Friday I went there and took some hot pics, then I called the tow truck because the saveiro doesn't have the mount for attach a trailer (however I dont have one xD).[/center]

Spoiler:

[center]As you can see, he made a brilliant job, the color it's exactly what I wanted, the result was the expected after seeing pictures of another hotrods, they mainly have dark colors like this one (at least in those that I saw), I can't regret nothing from this.[/center]

[center]Just in case I checked the interior of the doors and the trunk to see if they forgot some rust spots but there's none, they will be my choice for years if nothing goes wrong.[/center]

[center]The next step in the project would be the engine, I already took it to the rectify but I have to buy some goodies to get him run hehe, and obviously the suspension will be reworked but that can't be done in this moment, I still think of a customized one.[/center]

[center]The another "big news" between notation marks because it's not that important how the previous one was are some modifications to the saveiro, I bought a kind of starter pack including a steering wheel, a set of rims and a exhaust header, obviously I buyed all by separate.[/center]

[center]For the full set of rims I done a exchange, the seller gave me the VW Amarok wheels and I paid with the Saveiro rims and $80 on it, keeping the tyres, for the steering wheel I paid $100 and for the header $90, which is prefabricated, not a special order, this last two are completely new. Yesterday I took the time to install them.[/center]

[center]Now with the main project going straight forward this new days will be on fire! and for me, the best part of a project is the engine, to get rid of the tow truck I have to buy a trailer, which is not cheap but for my use is totally worth.[/center]

PEACE!

-Trying to do my best! To be honest I'm a chevy fan but if you really like cars there's no reason to make fights for see which brand is better (That's my opinion).

[center]About engines and supensions[/center][/color]

[center]After some weeks owning the saveiro I wanted to give him more comfort at the driving, searching on Mercado Libre (South American Ebay) I found a full set of shocks and springs by $244, they came in 3 days and for me was too quick, with a lot of anxiety I put them and looked awesome![/center]

[center]Now the car feels so good and I want to drive it more and more, until when the fuel runs out 🙂) [/center]

[center]The next thing to do in this babe is improve the brakes, nothing serious anyways.[/center]

[center]Also when the Ford's engine came from the rectify I assembled the internals in one afternoon and presented it with the gearbox on the car, one thing I forgot in the past was cutting the two parts of the hood by the middle, fortunately I don't damaged any part of the paint in the process. And another thing, maybe not that important as the previous ones were for you, is that the seat was fixed by one of my favourites upholsterer in the city, now I can drive it (well at this time I can't) with more pleasure![/center]

[center]That's all for this week, the next one will be focused on engines >🙂 [/center]
