Thanks mate, I'll see if something pops up a bit closer to home in the next week or so as it would take me an hour + to get there!

Hey all, any 1500 or 1600 engines running (or near running) going cheap in western syd? Just getting it running for now, will get a decent engine when there is more budget! 🙂

Hi,
I've got a 1300 you'd be welcome to check out (Wollongong). Took it out of a 61 bug. Turns over by hand, don't know much more than that :-/

I have a good 1600 in Taree which is not quite as close as Sydney airport.😵‍💫

hi all:
ezevwbits - bit too much for my current budget... thanks tho.
kempos & grumble - bit too far for me to venture atm, although the drive to Taree is nice. haha.

How long are you willing to wait, I am replacing my 1600 twin port sometime after Xmas

rivmasta · 11 Nov 2012, 11:03 am

hey mate - I'd be willing to wait if the price is right! haha.

Paulc1964au · 11 Nov 2012, 4:27 pm

make me an offer 🙂

rivmasta · 13 Nov 2012, 11:31 am

I dunno? Whats fair for a 1600TP? Does it smoke/leak/cough/fart? Sorry, not trying to be obtuse, just learning the VW world!

Paulc1964au · 13 Nov 2012, 5:35 pm

none of the above its a pretty good motor i am just upgrading to a larger engine.

Maybe someone else can make comment but i'd be looking at around $500 to cover purchase of tinware, alternator and a few other bits i could use off the existing motor

rivmasta · 13 Nov 2012, 6:40 pm

$500 sounds good to me for a running engine. 🙂 Count me in. I'll PM you my mobile - as long as its available before mid February its all good! 🙂

benny_acko · 13 Nov 2012, 8:08 pm

If this doesnt go through let me know Paul...I'll be in the hunt around then!

Thats the problem i am still buying parts and havent engaged a builder yet so i am looking around May at this stage?

rivmasta · 16 Nov 2012, 8:52 am

probably a bit long to wait, im hoping to have one in by early march. no dramas, keep me in mind when the time comes for you to sell, you never know!

Cheers.
