[Loyale 2.7 Turbo]

My Weberized EA82 Wagon "Everyday Warrior" isn't White anymore (paint thread here) and Since the Damages that happened to my "weekend Warrior" (the Loyale 2.7, you can read about that here) I Swapped some parts from that 2.7 to the Weberized one and I Worked (and still Workin') on Many improvements to my "Everyday Warrior".

Since I Painted it in Bright Yellow with Black Stripes, (The 2.7 is Darker Yellow without Stripes) and I made a Sheet Metal Hood Scoop (the idea was to let the Weber Scream out Loudly) my Family and I have Renamed it as:

The "Bumble Beast"

Thank you! ... I'm Glad that you Liked it!

The Front Grille has a Custom Design which is the Same on the Hood Scoop, Both Bumpers are Reinforced with Fiber Glass as I did with the 2.7, explained Here:

Also, I've made Lots of Changes on my "Bumble Beast" but instead of a Single Thread for all the Work, I've posted one thread for each modification, in order to make easier to Find each topic.

I'll Resume some of the Main Mods here, with Links to the Threads.

I Modified the intake, made a Better fit for the Weber Carb and Swapped a Single port Vacuum advance (Better for the Weber) instead of the Dual port one on the Disty, as you can Read Here, from post Nº 2:

Well...

Let me know what do you Think about it!

[92_rugby_subie]

That is an amazing ride... BUMBLE BEAST... I like it!

[TheLoyale]

You have put a lot of time and care in that car, I remember when you did a lot of that stuff. Turned out very nice!

I also love that you've done write-ups of everything.

Cheers and bravo indeed!

[bigjimd]

You sure turn out some nice projects for working with a limited budget. At our house its the same way and more of a challange than just throwing money at doing things.

[81EA81]

I like what you have done with everything. you seem to have a great eye for detail. Those wheels look cool. I would love to see your car in person. especially the fiberglass work.
Quality job, even your posts

[Loyale 2.7 Turbo]

When I Painted my BumbleBeast... (that was Pearl White) ...in Yellow & Black, I used the same procedures I did in my other (2.7) Wagon, as explained here:

http://www.ultimates...ad.php?t=126914

Except that the Bumblebeast had Minor Rust spots, I don't needed to Rebuild rusted sheetmetal like is explained there.

[Loyale 2.7 Turbo]

Also, I Removed the Timing Belts' Covers from my BumbleBeast:

My BumbleBeast is Lifted! ... The SJR Lift kit came to Honduras:

[Loyale 2.7 Turbo]

Inmediately after the Lift instal finished,
I went to Test Drive the Lifted BumbleBeast
to the "Agua Blanca" (White Water) Mountain:

I Made a Short Video while Driving, Here you can see it:



Please, Let me Know what do you Think about it!

Kind Regards.

[Loyale 2.7 Turbo]

I Uploaded Many Pictures of that Travel to the "Agua Blanca" Mountain...

As I Already told:

Now I'm Workin' on Certain Wooden parts to Substitute the Cracked Plastic ones, as I Did the Wooden Frame for the Stereo:

http://www.ultimates...ead.php?t=73485

So I Made a Wooden center piece to Substitute the Cracked plastic one on my BumbleBeast, but this one is not the Definitive one; Because I am seeking to do a Rear Hand Brake (e-Brake) Retrofit in my BumbleBeast, and I'm Sure that I will do a Whole center console in Wood to make the Retrofit looks Good.

But while I Do that retrofit, here is the Wooden part I've done:








I Can Paint it in the Same Colour that the Dashboard Has, as I Did with the Wooden Stereo Frame, so -almost- Nobody will notice the Difference.

What do you Think About that?

Kind Regards.

[kabarakh]

looks great! I've been wanting to do that exact thing to my car for quite some time now, but just haven't had the chance...

Amazing car!
