you can proll gather by now that GREEN is my fav color.
But sadly, that is the last of the green to go on the build.... maybe
😂lotsa wiring and fiddly interior work the last week or so, finally got my gauges in and the wiring for the air con. Made my own gauge holder because I'm anal and wanted a specific shape and size and location. So Cal ignition switch and push starter fitted....
Parts of the engine are finally arriving by boxes and heavy freight costs 😂
Do the heads look familiar Mr Berry?... case arrives next week hopefully and SCAT order arrives tomorrow I think.
really splashing the cash..........😂
I have to order an exhaust and booster off you Mr Berry , will call you next week for costs...... 😉
👍👍👍 🙂

^^^ so shocked you couldn't type anything?

ohh yeah , I knew there was something else I was working on, the tray is at work being "glued " together, sanded and lacquered and shaped..... It's a surprise...... 😂
so stoked on the spotted gum tray, a lot of work but well worth it.....the VW emblem has to go off and get chromed now and the timber tray will have a chrome trim wrapped around it to finish off the edges.
Love your work.
Any gates going on this DOKA?
Maybe some stainless framed woody ones?

My friend gave me some dental cleaning stix of various sizes and they are freakin awesome to use, I will post up a pic of them tomorrow, really good for cleaning very tiny orrifices.....😂
you can see a before and after shot in the last image. Fitted with upgrade kit, jet doctors and an all over good clean out.

BINGO............ you are a winner. So we wait for another 1 week or so for the replacement. Yippie!!!!
edit, just working on a shim from Kimco ....will see...
or get DB to machine both of them, that way you can get rid of the step in the head that should be gone anyway IMO.

it started......... today
I have a tech question..... after building up the long block (rotates nice and smooth, no bad noises) I went to assemble the rockers and push rods. I am using standard rockers (Scat swivel feet) a C35 cam and standard lifters (all Scat), when I install my rods (Scat CroMo 11.50) then try to nip them up to the heads there is about a 12mm gap between the rocker and the seat of the cylinder head. I have made sure all the lifters are pushed inwards and rotated the engine on all TDC cylinders and they still don't fit.
I will say that I bought the full Scat engine kit , so I figured everything in the kit would be compatible but it seems the rods are too long for the rocker and cam assembly. Shouldn't it be standard length push rods ?.
thanks in advance ......... Binner
Your thread is my new inspiration... I'll have plenty of questions for you later on lol 😂
does the rocker assembly bolt on with pushrods not installed ?
^^^yup,
Not fixed your rocker/pushrod issues yet??? Gotta setup geometry first then pushrod length like Shayne said
