Nice engine

[IMPI]

A standard rebuild I did for a customer:
Engine is a 1600 singleport with exhaust and filter. The detailing largely done by the owner.


Rest of car equally nice

Thats some great work you are doing there!
I just dont like the filter
But other than that its looking smooth

[BUGGOFF]

Nice to see something different for a change. those colors look good together.

I am soooo liking those sunk in elephants. Do we actually get those fenders here or did chappy have to do it himself?

IMPI, do/can you cost a standard engine rebuild or is it one of those "it depends on the core" story?

Nice
I spy with my little eyes a set of 50mm modified M3 throttles with manifolds for type 4 in the right hand side of pic one

[IMPI]

This Guy came for advice and then ignored everything I said to him Engine lasted only 2km
He then bit the bullet and I rebuilt and upgraded completely.
Basic no frills 1835
92mm barrels
W110 cam
40mm intake and 35.5 exhaust
stage 1 port and polish
Empi oil pump
36dcd weber (i personally dont like)
std ignition
The crank is still std (non counterweighted and this will impact on the life of this engine)

I see his 36 weber sits other way around than mine , my ones fuel pipe faces backwards.

Another one got done
This one came in for an oil leak and a bit down on power I found one destroyed piston and conrod inside but it ran on 3 cylinders

It ran for quite a while in this condition too LOL
I recieved a few sets of plated push rod tubes today as I like using original tubes bequase of the quality

I don't think they're sunken like the Mexican bugs where you can see the actual indents on the fenders around the base of the light/lens.

Anyone else know how this guy did it? Was it simply getting rid of the elephants foot 'base' and then fixing the lens onto the fender where the base goes? Isn't there a substantial diameter difference between the 'base' and the lens?

[IMPI]

the guy put the right base left and trimmed it way down base is about 4 cm on outside

I just completed this bus engine for a guy but he didnt like the exhaust and the new super duper radio ate the charging system so the bus got an alternator and EMPI 4into one fit was very good and sounded good too'




I just hate it when panel beaters dont mask my newly painted stuff

Bus had this exhaust but it obscured the sump

That is a stunning looking early bay. Good to know that the Empi 4 into 1 fits the IMPI engine

[Drusky]

That might be the bay that sold for R65k in Cape Town at the start of 2010. Impi I love your work! How is the progress on your camper?
