Aircooled VW South Africa

And fitted real seatbelts:

Ordered my new clutch and pressure plates. Now I need to take out the engine to get the flywheel and new clutch balanced. Not looking forward to it but will arrange someone to assist as spanner boy

today I have finished building all parts required for converting the 4AGE TO TURBO
install tonight and tomorrow car starts, then dyno saturday

As i don't have a project yet, I did some web searching for a 11 or 13 window Bus for sale. I then realised that i need to save up some more before i buy one. I then went and refitted the turbo pipe on my TD5 Land Rover because it popped off the other day.

Nothing today because nobody had the valve guides i need but follow my posts on,"HAVE YOU SEEN CYNDI'S BRAZILIA" (corrected) for regular posts of my project.

Thanx

Hi Cyndi, to change the "HAVE YOU SEEN CYNDI'S BRAZILIA" you must edit the 1st post on this thread, then it will change all future posts

NICE!!!!!

Over the last 2 weeks...
got casing welded
changed axle boots and tightened gearbox bolts
installed engine
started and synched carbs

she sounds sweet and no oil leaks yet.

HELLO EVERYONE.

TODAY I REMOVED THE CRANCKSHAFT PULLEY AND THE PETROL TANK.
ALSO STARTED TO CLEAN UP THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
CYNDI AWAY WITH HER COUSINS FOR 2 WEEKS AND SO I WILL TRY TO POST.

MARK (CYNDI'S DAD)

1) Ordered new sunvisors and clips to replace the teabags that are currently in place. The cost of these is completely off the wall but I decided to spoil myself for my birthday. (Think I'm going to have the teabags rebuilt and keep for spares.) 2) Ordered a Vintage Speed 1½" exhaust system with matching j-pipes to go with the dual Weber 36 IDFs and 'head job' we are going to be doing sometime soonish. 3) Started to clean 42 years of grime out of the cabin. This is going to be a major pain in de ass but tackling it section by section is the way to go.

Drove it to the Aircooled Wonders meet. Then drove it some more! Sooo awesome driving it after a long time.

Need to bleed the brakes, and remove those damn spacers in the wheels, causing a crazy wobble on the steering.

Can I run the mags and adapters without the spacers, on a standard suspension? Any issues?

Swooped rims and tyres on the porsche drove her 50 ks at illegal speeds heheheh not to slow for a 44 yr old car. Took the 62 Vw for a blast arround the block and collected a kick ass stock 78 one owner bug with my mate

Went for a drive after some timing changes on the computer and she feels much better!! Problem is now that the map ends at 6000 RPM and she wants more Modified the map tonight and want to get it ready for the open road and CITP on Sunday.
