Well i just got my case back from being machined, case savers installed, and crank ground. She looks hot ;). For those interested it cost about $1200 and took about 1 week, It was done in Lonsdale SA by V & T Motors (08) 8382 8111, They literally have a machine shop just for VW motors which used to operate 24\/7 pretty much back in the late 70’s now not so much , but they did an excellent job, even to the point of getting the casing to the correct temp exactly if not they would start again from scratch.<\/p>\n

\nIf you don’t know why this was needed basically after years of service the thumping of the cam shaft on the bearings impact into the magnesium case. E.g Follows:<\/p>\n

\"dscf1691-custom\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>\u00a0Now its all shiny.<\/p>\n

Other news I cleaned up the front beam blew all the crap off (grease dirt etc), and painted her up.. (but it was annoying moving the front beam around (mental note next time i need to take it off reverse into the garage ;).<\/p>\n

That engine trolley came in useful to keep the pan movable.<\/p>\n

Finally put the front end back on (man was that a pain in the ass, don’t look forward to doing it again.<\/p>\n

Also blasted the ass end with water and the rubbed her bacl and gave her a nice high temp \u00a0paint, looks sweet.<\/p>\n

\"img_3772\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also grabbed these for $20 both straight and in good cond (unsure if i will use the yet) but i have never seen the \u00a0closer style of bumper before, any ideas?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyway until next time., I’m a bit slow lately because I’m looking at buying a house to move all my beetles too as their current living quarters are being sold :(. So wish me luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
