Thanks Paul 🙂
Amazingly, I still haven't got the momo steering wheel on yet.... it will be on soon, as well as this.....
thanks again to kombi saint 🙂
I still have a set of new guards lined up with dave (stidub) that i have to get cash for, then its just little bits and pieces for the body work etc.
as for brakes, i need a new MC, hoses, seals, and bearings and some machining.
I secured some new carbs (thanks to steve carter 🙂 ), but im just going to use one, so need a manifold and linkage stuff for it... 🙂 should go well with the new exhaust, once the body work is done... good fun.

$20 is possible due to the rust and Rohan doing me a good cash deal. 11k is optimistic indeed.. 6k ... Maybe. 🙂 it's going together slowly...

Should be able to get 6. I was revving mine to six at warwick and it is a mild cam with the timing hugely retarded to the problems we have had with pinging

Well, for what i swapped it for, it was a fair deal.. and good oppourtunity.

tuned my carbs up today and it easily revved up to 4500rpm but didn't want to push it past that. I'm sure it would do 5200 if i wanted it to but dont really wanna warp the crankshaft 😂 🤓

why this isn't in members rides.... I'm not sure.
got some new photos 🙂
As it is now
Single DNCF 40mm - Ramflow air cleaner.
The new exhaust.
New rear valance
then new (second hand....) front struts.
At this point, in the next few weeks the brakes will get done... then i will concider what to do after that.
🙂 just need seals and hoses for the brakes... and then if im really unlucky, a new M/C.

Its a bit rusty, and the heat risers are gone, but i dont need them here.. it rarely gets cold enough.
the single is a good upgrade for the 1600.. and has worked out a crazy load cheaper than kadrons.
I am trying to get out of this setup for a little as possible, because its only going to be like that for 12 months. But from what I have discussed with Joel, it will be heaps heappppppppppps better than what im running now 🙂
AND.
Made these today/ my first videos. be nice!

Colonel,
Just pay regular attention to the foam filter in that Ramflo. It breaks down if too old and will get sucked into the carb or engine.
Enjoy

Cheers mate!
I will most likely invest in something with a flat top to avoid water coming in, once i have a bit more cash. I think they are about $40 each from micks. might even find them cheaper on ebay...
this is the style I would like

haha. well.... you can have it. haha. its pretty much stuffed. when i got hit, it bent one of the tubes.
the thunderbird is what i should have purchased originally. i guess i just wanted to be different from my mate. silly choice since i only had a 1600.

Fair enough. Can't wait to see it done. So when are you planning on throwing it all together?
colonel mustard Son of Jim - Creator of Good

once i can get a bit more cash together. just managing to pay the bills at the moment. i finish all the assessment for my course this week, so i will be able to pick up a bit more work after that.
the brakes hopefully in the next 2 weeks. (then if they dont get better, its another $200 for a M/C)
then body work 🙁 - $1500 is the guess.
I've never pulled an engine from a vw before, but im thinking about doing it myself. I know i can do the exhaust and intake myself. just need a hand with clutch alignment (my mate is a mech and has tools i can use) Its also having another car that i can use while mine is out of action for a week or so. the last parts i need are...
Brake seals
flexable brake lines
Master cylinder (maybe)
Spark Plug leads
Spark plugs
Blue Fuel hose
Intake gaskets
Intake boots/clamps
Copper Exhaust nuts
Breather hose
Breather vents
Gearbox mounts (urethane)
That should get me stopping, intake, exhaust, clutch and oil breathing done..... Hopefully by new year
then mid-mount for the gearbox, and strutbrace(early next year...). then front end lowering. and after that is wheels/tyres (probably 6 months away).
The biggest choice i have to make is, do the body work or just bodgy it up with a large hammer. - that would save me $1500 that i just dont have.... its a fun game.

uh yeah... already spent that. Paid for my course, which was just a bit more important.
its not a huge job given that with a few hundred $$'s more in parts, it would just be labour... i just dont have the money for it, and i cant find anyone that is reconmended for VW's locally.
It doesnt need to look pretty, but it needs to be straight.
next one the to buy list is gaurds and bumpers/brackets. trying to avoid non german stuff. (but planning on doing the bumpers and light surrrounds in matt black..... 🙂 - but still keeping the rest of the body rat style.)
