Hello,
Great forum to read and look at other peoples setups and rides. I've been a Veedub enthusiast for while and i am currently getting back into finishing of my project which has been on and of the shelf for 12 years. Just a little bit of interior and engine tuning to do and I can drive it again Yeh.
Hey superflow 1! Welcome!
I am also from SA and glad to hear of yet another enthusiast around the place.
I haven't been a member on here long either, but have been made to feel really welcome, so I am sure you will be too.
One thing I have noticed though....everyone on here enjoys pictures....so get uploading some of your ride so I know what to look for when I'm out and about. 😁
Thanks Scarab for the welcome.
Haven,t learnt yet how to up load pictures but will give it a go soon. My Vw is a 1964 beetle thats been modified quite a bit. Body wise its bright yellow with shaved gutters , front steel guards widened 2" rest of the body mostly smoothed off except for the door handles. Wheels are Weld pro star with 225 x 15 rear and 125 x15 front. Gearbox has Albins gears, super diff and sway away axles.
Engine is 2165 with Bugpack crank and rods, Superflow 1 heads with Scat 1.4 rockers, Wiseco pistons, 12.7:1 compression, Vertex scintilla magneto and ida webers.
I have had the body of the car complete for about 10 years now and most of the parts for the motor but was just to busy to finish off. Recently I got around to building the engine and fired it up for the first time about 8 weeks ago. I still have to finish of the interior as well as putting the car on a chassis dyno.
WOW! that sounds like quite a machine! 👍
I think if I had parts like that sitting around, I'd want to knock it together as quick as possible and get out there and cruise!! 😁
All the best with the rest of the build.
I set up a photobucket account for my photos and then just paste in the address of the picture when writing a post....its easier than I thought it was gonna be 😂
I REALLY want to see your bug mate, it sounds great!
G day Superflow 1

here ya go!
argh! you beat me to it!
That is a good looking bit of kit mate....any idea of output, or at least expected output?
Now that you've worked out the photo thing....photos of the car are now required! 😂
Thanks, took a bit to figure out photos but seeem to have the hang of it now. Hopefully around 200-220hp from this engine would be good.
aahhhh she is a beautiful engine and a nice car
Nice ride dude👍

Ah....I see the car has the looks to back up her performance! Nice looking ride mate, well done!
Have just seen your stereo work very inspiring, great work.
Am just about to launch into my type 3 restoration, it's a great motor but is very ratty inside and out am also in S.A
See you out there

how do the rocker covers attach?
Oh snap! Very nice. Nothing as inspiring as a work of love.
I am beginning to think that next time I see you a vehicle inspection will have to be done. Oh and confiscate any engine parts you bring in 🙂
Still haven't got the square on the road yet, so much to do so little time. Heads weren't loose like the previous owners mechanic said but the engine is damn noisy. May have to swap it with the spare and then see ASP about the rust and dents. Wish my motor's HP was close to yours but will have to settle with the three knackered horses for now.
And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, for if you hit a man with a ploughshare, he'll know he's been hit
