So after a trip to Belgium lost of work to be done.
Some cool water leaks and the pressure in my engine is to high.
So yesterday we started to change the pressure problem.
It's not finished and not as beautyfull but needed.
And some shots from the trip in Belgium lovely Ghost town in the place called Doel.
There only living a few people most of the houses and shops are closed.
Lots of Graffiti and lovely places to park your MK1.

To be honest Andy it was my own fault.
The Oil catch tank that i used had 2 in connection 10mm.
So what i did i made the ventilation for the cylinder head 10mm and the same from the bottom engine.
Dumb dumb dumb this is way to small don't what i was thinking when i did it.
So now i created a 16mm bottom engine connection to the cylinder head and from there out one 16mm to the new catch tank.
That was made by a good friend of mine with just one big connection and all so a good diameter for the filter to breath.
Look the difference….
Shame less…….
Here you see the old catch tank
And this is how i made it ,the catch tank is now painted black just as the pipe to it.
Terrible phone shots but you see the difference..
Now i only have to fix my seatbelts driver side and some small water leaking ,started with a new water hose on the right side of the cylinder head.
It's black now instead as the first picture blue.
