Hi there. I am looking at reconditioning my old 1969 VW 1500 motor, and was wondering if any of the Perth Dubbers know of a reputable mechanic to carry out the work (i.e. to a high quality). Please help.

All of these guys are good. My only advice is to get a price before you commit yourself to anything.

You could also try Brett and Jon at Balcatta VW and Suburu - they used to be almost exclusively air-cooled until relatively recently, and know their stuff.

A friend of mine has a splitty engine rebuilt by them which purrs 😉
