That standard 181 issue.

Working 181s ones had it as standard issue.
It was an factory option for a civilian one.

Some people reckon they are bad. The steel guard leads to the alloy block corroding away.

Motor with oil cooler and alternator stand fitted.

Suspension parts being prepped for powder coating.

Boxes from CIP1. Its good to come home from a trip and have this to unpack.
Image

181 exhaust system.
Image

Some of the bits and pieces in the boxes.

Who knows where this fits. Hint: It removes flat spots when the motor is cold.

New 80 amp Alternator. Now I should be able to run my fridge while travelling.
Image

All the Kubels parts sorted and packed away. When restoring a car you need order or you end up spending hours looking for some part.
Image

The body is almost ready for primer. Its time to fit all the doors and lids catches to make sure all panels line up.

And something for SubaruBug.

Hey Vader, its not a 181 part. Its a part that should be found on any standard 1.6TP Beetle motor.

And if you using something like this as a buttplug, I take my hat of to you.

Nice, Tom! So you can actually order an entire 181 through the mail? At a CNA near you, in 360 parts published every 2 weeks... :mrgreen:

Yeh Vader.

Now we all know why you wear that helmet, disguising your worn face. How much did you pay the script writer to add the fake see of you getting burnt.

:oops: :oops: We thinks you and your pink light sabre have been rather busy.
:oops: :oops: We thinks you are revealing your DARK side.
