Nice Chris. Did you buy those wheels new? I recently lost one of the hubcaps on mine and haven't had any luck finding a new one. VW in Nelspruit can't even find the wheel or the hubcap part number on the system although they have a brand new wheel sitting in the display area! (Minus the hubcap of course!)

Glad to see that you're going with a Type 4 engine

Those wheels I also bought second hand.They are off a Caravelle.I'll have a look around and see if I can find yo a cap.

Thanks, that would be great!

Judging by the amount of taxis here in Pretoria that have replica AMG wheels, those caravelle wheels should be pretty easy to find. But try dealing with taxi owners. really, they are another type of person all together... 5 months of negotiations for one bludy steering wheel!

Maybe you didn't put enough bucks on the table!

What steering wheel are you looking for Blitz?

Got the engine this weekend from SambaOwner and will be fitted next week.

Chris on your old engine do you have an adopter plate or a adopter bellhousing?

Chris · Post by **Chris** » Fri Sep 19, 2008 7:45 am

Yes,but I'm selling it with the engine.The guy from the garage has bought it already.Sorry Suz.

Type 4 power! Are you leaving the Type 4 standard or are you going to modify it??

Chris · Post by **Chris** » Fri Sep 19, 2008 3:08 pm

I'm leaving it standard.It has to reliable and run for a long time.

Had some bad news today.The bellhousing that I got was the wrong one.With some help from Bugger I found one in Jhb and will be courriered down on Monday.
