Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Thinking probably a copper or goldish color, but it'll be a while before I get that done I think. 110
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 05/10/2026A little bit of outside time now that it's almost all grey 1140
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Yeah! I've actually had it fitted for a long while now. Donor parts came from a Versa/Tiida and were fabricated into the steering column 010
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The power steering is electric assist, so no need for a pump! 111
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Fashioned a mount for the belt tensioner, seems like it should all line up nicely. Nearly 180° of belt wrap on the alternator should help considerably! Just need to get a belt for it tomorrow 150
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Thanks man, here's hoping I don't have to take too much of a hiatus from this project 011
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Taking apart the last 12 years of your life is.. tough. Yo truck from a local car meet to combat the morose-posting. Gotta keep the head up. 060
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Small project this evening, added a reinforcement/perch behind the timing cover that this idler pulley can mount to. Lowers the belt, increases belt wrap on the alternator, and also does a surprisingly good job at fastening the timing cover. I'll figure out an auto tensioner eventually.. 0100
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 10/09/2026It's unfair how easy it is to break a habit like that 010
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 09/09/2026This is one of those failsafe ones. Emphasis on the fail because they always clip themselves open on the third heat cycle lol 020
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Made progress, even if it wasn't quite as much as I'd hoped for. I embossed the area around the crank sensor, and it'll accommodate a grommet to help keep debris out of the timing components. Everything will be quite snug, but that's what I'm going for! 1122
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Been working at timing cover parts, this lower piece is a real odd one. All sorts of shapes! Used my spot welder to put some recessed mounts on the upper bit to both space it out and keep the bolts flush. Hopefully gonna get the lower bit squared off tomorrow. 190

Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Yeah, might do a matte medium grey, maybe a wrinkle, not totally decided yet. Might also put windows in to show off the decorations on the cam gears haha 110
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I debated 3D printing for it but given the size and temperatures, I think I will just make it out of steel 110
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Got the cam gears modified to accommodate my beauty ring things (one acts as a pickup wheel for a camshaft sensor), then started drawing out a new timing cover to replace the stock one I don't like 190
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Got a bit of dog time today, trying to keep my mind off things a bit. Needed a water pump pulley that was not just 6-rib, but also an adjusted size to match with the slightly smaller crankshaft pulley. Just need to work out an auto-tensioner. Also ft. My favorite red bull that we don't get here 3100
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Yeah, it wasn't low on fluid. They suspect the pump failed but stopped after dropping the pan and finding the debris since it's a death sentence for the transmission anyway 100
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 28/08/2026It came with a 3rd party extended warranty, so I'm hoping that isn't a problem to use if it comes to it. 110
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I'm crossing everything at this point, time will tell 000
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 28/08/2026TMW the transmission sounds like it's full of marbles Here's hoping it's somehow not bad news. Now I wait for the diagnosis. Maybe next month will be better? August has not been great. 230
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Still working out of what I suppose I'll call a funk.. Made up a meager bracket for a new alternator setup, still gotta sort out a tensioner and stuff yet. 070
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Haven't had much luck catching them so far myself! 010
Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 21/08/2026This week hasn't really been much better, trying not to talk about it much on account of I try so hard to keep a positive outlook but some days are hard. In other news, I saw a very strange looking couple of delivery vans yesterday 140

Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 16/08/2026It has not been a very good week and I'm struggling a bit. Cleaned the car and went a bit out of town to get some photos. This is one of my favourite weekends of the year and I'm in such a funk I can't really enjoy it. Not every day is a good one, just gotta stick around for when they come, right? 150
