So guys a little update,
Got the bug rolling around. Found a leak from the right rear brake line, loose fitting, only found it when had all three lines clamped, and pushed on the pedal. Fn thing, stripped a lot of paint off the diagonal arm!!!! amazed i hadnt noticed the paint bubbling. (something to be said for cleaning the shit off the floor regularly).
Brakes are bled up, but pedal is not great. Consistent but just ok. Will haver to drive it and see.
Got the seat and slider in, took a bit of stuffing around, and a lot of in out work. But pretty happy with the result. Will post pics soon. Still need to plate up the seatbelt and harness.
Hoping to put the engine back in this week. Not really doing too much. Might pull the heads off and replace the rings, just to ensure compression. Neighbour said he will look at the heads for me. Give me some indication if the valves have been pounded out.
***Anything you can suggest to have a look at while the heads are out? I thought i might clean the ports while i'm going.
Will replace engine bay seal and add a degree pulley. Stock donk what degree are you all setting your 1600tp at and at what revs.
Still need to find an 8mm fuel outlet for the fuel tank. Currently i have taken the 6mm out and have not got anything to replace it with (line taken out of securing nut). Any help here. SOmeone suggested type 3 had an 8mm but cant find anything. Might post in tech talk
There is the VW show at Port adelaide next weekend...
Cheers
