Aircooled VW South Africa

I take it that means the engine is in then

One day,one day when I'm totally happy with the car, the sad story of this car's engine saga will be told....

Here's a lesson to all prospective ACVW project builders. DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU READ ON THE NET!!!!!!!!!!!

Stick to the word of your local SA based ACVW expert and everything will be good.

*rant over*

As it stands, engine completely assembled - Heads torqued the works, now I need to put pushrods in, rockers on etc. If all goes well, I'll be starting the engine up this weekend. Carbs have been cleaned, didn't strip them completely but opened up the tops and cleaned out all the dead fuel that was in there

I've found a guy who does sandblasting decently, so sent the tins etc to blast. Then having them painted too....

I'll be taking a day or so off work next week sometime, if all goes well WE WILL BE AT THE MINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread should have been renamed a long time ago... at the speed you going its going to should be a slowback

Sad but true......this whole experience has been a huge eye opener for me!

at least its all your work...

Weekends over, did she start?

Anybody noticed the change in subject?

No, Dirk wasn't available to do work on the car this weekend so didn't start it, most likely one of the evenings in the week. I've done a lot of other work on the car, will update soon, when I have a picturemaker.

Keep it going Blitzkrieg

I can wait to see the end result.
