woo hoo
hubby pulled apart my motor i thought it was a 1300 but then maybe a 1600 it turned out to be a 1641 after measuring the stroke and bore
explains why my bug left others 4 dead hehehe
eeeek
shattered a ring 😬
i guess it was on its way out anyhow , got sum new ones on order
and just found out i have a big bore kit in my motor
why cant a SIMPLE rebuild be just that 🙁
putting on a brand new shiney exhaust while i am at it
🙂👍
well my engine got pulled out and stripped down but its stalled on the rebuild , got the parts just , have to suck up to the ex :vader to get him to put it back together , maybe i can bribe him with sex and beer
LOL
wish me luck
Damm sex and beer didn,t work mota still in bits , :vader i,m losing my charm
ending up trading my 10stack cd player and dual subwoofers for him to put it back together , damm my ex drives a hard bargain LOL now just got to get him round here to do it 🙄
he promises it will be done by next weekend
He took a sound system over sex and beer??:alien
Strange guy 🤪
Pity your in WA 😀
Futue te ipsum!!!
well he been with me for the last 15 yrs may be i just aint worth a mota rebuild any more LOL
i,ve devalued with age LMAO
:bounce woohoo engine is back together after a few dramas
shattered one of the new rings , and had to use spacers in between the rings as i had ones that apparently not made any more
but yay she,s 2gether just gotta get it back in now
Sharon
Apparently beer and a roast dinner works , :P plus payment of the sound system
😁
okay well i am still waiting for my motor to go back in
promisies it will be done this weekend , but in the meantime i needed a car to drive cause my toyota tarago
decided it didn,t like me and engine got a combustion leak so i traded her in on this new beast

YAY :bounce:bouncefinally got the engine back in cleaned it up a bit just got to put on all the bolt on bits and the new alternator kit i bought a while back
hehehe , well i had posted a few update posts but when the site went down so did the posts
any ways here is a pic of my 1641 well it aint mine any more its belongs to 59bus now
so it went in and it went out
I got turned to the dark side :vaderand have just bought a ej16 which i am hoping wont be to difficult to install as I have no idea what to expect , luckily Kim is more mechanically minded then me and i will leave it up to him
so wish me luck as i have major plans for my whole car
The porrera * factory * mold is in Perth ( hard roof one ) I know the guy that has it as well as the body sitting on his lawan thats for sale
Looking for that special lady : PM me for coffee & cake
what is he selling the mould for the porerra or a porerra body?
very interested in a porerra body , would love to have one of each
ok here are a few pics of my poraga as she is today, theres nothing really wrong with the way she looks but I am fussy and i dont stand out enough LOL
so this will be the last time anyone will see her looking like this , as she is going into the shed and being stripped , and rebuilt
stay tuned in a few months she will be a new car
Sharon
All I can say is.....
http://
hmmm still nothing done to her , i have to move house owner is selling and i cant find a suitable house for under 250 a week so my baby will have to wait till i move , thinkin about changing her name from sway to borg or hybrid or junker lol any suggestions ??
Sharon
hmmm still havn,t moved , running out of time havn,t found a house , but........................... my bug got pushed out the shed today and hosed off ( very dusty ) and we bought some bolts to bolt in the engine , started raining lucky the roof was on her , so gonna have to wait till 2morrow to fit the ej16 into her
👍
at least its somethin LOL
just thought i would let you know a ej16 does not fit in a unmodified beetle engine bay
i am in the process of trying to put mine in and it needs some major cutting to fit
so i am rethinking my whole ej16 project ,i was expecting to cut a little !! but i dont know if i want to cut so much out of my engine bay ,
it may cause structural damage
Sharon
i was told that an ej20/22 is quite an easy install. is there any specific difference between an ej16 and an ej20/22 that makes the 16 harder to install (different cooling configuration etc .... ) ?
no the ej16 is easier because its a little bit smaller , i am told the cooling outlets etc are the same , just need a throttle body invertor and custom made sump ,
still attempting my install 🙂
Sharon
ej 16 does fit I retract my previous statement.
just got to hit the enginebay a bit with a hammer.
