beetleboyjeff 路

Yeah, there is a bit of bug in that rust. :-)

1303Steve 路

The poms would fix that

Carl and Emily 路

You certainly like a challenge don't you,.. How did you end up with this?

Looking for the up side,.. it certainly has the 'aged' look going for it. Some call it 'Patina' don't they.馃お

I hope your not thinking of using donor panels from this on our car.馃檯

Maybe he bought it for the Horn ring,.. it's not broken,.. maybe the door handle is usable too,.. anything else salvageable on that??? 馃槀

matberry 路

There's a few other bits that are surprisingly good condition, and something very unusual, from a very old beetle.......

Good ol' DCOE

Matt you could probably make a fortune selling most of that car to the rat crew.

Someone out there would probably just buy it as is, paint the wheels red, slap a hoodride stencil on it and call it done.

The kind of Sidedraft Weber that is on this engine.
Looks like an original Italian one too.

I see,... learn something everyday on here. Thanks Joel.

My guess is parts of, or the engine as a whole might find it's way into bluey at some stage. Am I right matt?

Oh,.. you people in the know are just toying with us.馃槈

When will the great reveal for those of us who don't know what is speacial/ rare on this motor happen?

Then I can stop checking this thread and get my tax done!!!馃槀

tar76 路

I'ts got to be the dizzy? That weber would be cactus you would think.

vassy66T1 路

I assume the distributor is part of the story ... I don't know the exact answer
I just know that a sidedraft weber is nothing to get excited about.

matberry 路

Well am yet to get it out but yes, the flat cap/dissy has to be the best part of all the rust. The sump is interesting altho I doubt it's anything to get excited about. It has a tapered bottom like todays EMPI but is only thin in the sides like a small Scat. The fact that both visors seem guite good makes me laugh, as does the complete rear vision mirror that seems soooo heavy the windscreen frame has buckled uder the weight.




The DCOE might be salvageable but whether worth the effort.....馃檮








Also came with this very homemade buggy.....




This is what happens when you go interstate for the weekend.....

And Carl, I very much doubt any engine parts will be used ...... but of course, who knows, might have an Okrasa stroker inside.馃お馃檯 You want to come and pull it apart.....for the experience 馃檪 ???

vassy66T1 路

That last photo of the bug is a cracker!!!!

I think your mistaken Joel, this one is only CANS approved

tar76 路

i could see that gettting replaced with a keg full of bundy and that tube running to a certain vw maniac's mouth 馃榿

Craig Torrens 路

hmmmm the motor has a coil...so i guess its not a magneto ??!

Joel 路

The dissy is just an old 25hp 1100 jobbie isnt it?

Joel wrote:The dissy is just an old 25hp 1100 jobbie isnt it?
Yes, by the looks

Carl and Emily 路

ok,.. I'm going to say it,..

I'm confused,..

Is there actually anything 'special' about that motor?

And,..

ok Matt I'll be there tomorrow to pull it apart,.. I love an archaeological dig.馃槈

Um...it's a VW. I was amused by the home made components, the exhaust and inlet manifolds are classic, and how often do you see a side entry og distributer & cap?
