Yeah . . so where is the Disco?

By Al Hang (Alhang) on Thursday, October 04, 2001 - 07:09 pm: Edit

well Moe since it's a body swap, I'd guess that everything but the body was swapped for the 110 pickup parts. But then again he's got a Tdi sticker on there too, so I am guessing there's a whole lot more than we see here.

Good guess Al. there is alot going on.
Well that is if you consider a 20 gallon vegetable oil tank alot.

I realize that, just expected to see the Disco body after reading the thread title!

Very Nice looking rig. When my body goes, can I come see you?

Does it smell like french fries when you drive it?

By Shane (Shane) on Friday, October 05, 2001 - 06:41 am: Edit

It's not running yet; So I can't really say.
That is what I hear though.

so how viable is biodiesel? other than making you hungry all the time is it worth it?

By Shane (Shane) on Friday, October 05, 2001 - 09:49 pm: Edit

other than the inital cost for the conversion(fuel suppy mods, no engine mods)it seems pretty viable. They have a couple of biodiesel fuel stations here in the bay area. The rig will still run on normal diesel fuel as well.

Wouldn't that make it a Tvi

Shane,

This is so cool. If you are in the bay area, can I come by and take a look?

By Murray (Cdnrvr) on Saturday, October 06, 2001 - 03:56 pm: Edit

That is exactly what I want to do ... thanks Shane.

If it's open to the public, count me in for a visit!

By tc on Sunday, October 07, 2001 - 08:19 pm: Edit

Any more people, he will start to charge for admission.

By Shane (Shane) on Monday, October 08, 2001 - 07:02 pm: Edit

I'm currently located in Redding(about 3 hour away from the bay area) I'm hoping to finish the truck before December, at which time it will be living in Berkeley. So anyone interested can send me an email, or I'll most likely post when the truck is finished.
