Hi mate, thanks. No there is a guy that apparently is a bit of a wizz. Its going to be based on a brand new aftermarket crank case, and pretty much all of it will be modern tech. I did consider building it but even though they are simple, there is apparently a bit of an art to building them well.

Hi all, been busy on other projects for a while, but back onto the bus this weekend. Now working through fully finishing the stuff ready to give it to Cooper for a bit of his fettling then hopefully paint.
Got the fuel filler cap in, the screws broke trying to get them out but ended up drilling them out and fitting M4 rivnuts which worked…[Read more]

Sorry all been taking a bit of a break form working on cars. But should be into again soon. I like the ease of use in all conditions of injection.

Cars have been a bit on the back burner of late. We had a go at leaning up the Calais wheels a little but i am super happy with them. Once I get the Kombi off to paint it will free up some shed space to do a few tidy ups. Do drive a fair bit though, still love it

Yep they sure do, I plan on putting the bits and bobs for each in a zip lock bag and tape them to each window.
Also have found a bit of a VW engine/gearbox builder in Bordertown. Had a long chat to him, I think we have a plan for the motor. A nice 2210cc unit based around brand new crank case halves, and I am starting to think of EFI and t…[Read more]

Wow is it really over week since I checked in on this!! Mate, congratulations, absolutely first class. Sounds like all the areas you put the thought into to improve have paid off, again well-done buddy. Couldn’t agree with Cav more, smashed it out of the park, what an absolute weapon. At least something positive has come out of this suck bal…[Read more]

And we have bling. That’s all the windows fitted up and glazed. Once you get a bit of a method going not too hard just fiddly. But loving the look. Also had Cooper over earlier, plan is to give it to him in the new year for him to spend a few days doing some of the final body prep to make it easier for the painter. That will free up time and…[Read more]

Mine developed a bit of front end “funkiness” after maybe 500ks. Turned out I got all the suspension parts powder coated and with use, the powder coating settled and the bolts went loose. I think its part of builds like this to every now and then go and check everything is tight.

Yep as Mick says, but also if I did mine again I would plumb it into the water pump. That way it’s one less visible line. If you google it there’s info, seems pretty easy to do.

Getting too hot out there now, calling it a day.
That was the best fun I have had out there since doing the nose I reckon. Took a break from cut, weld, grind, repeat and decided first off to unpack all the windows from the UK, and see what is involved. Also unpacked their very nice rack and pinion conversion kit, looks really weld made.
