Hi guys this is my 72 beetle I have been building for a while now .
I'm the second owner and loving it being my first aircooled vw I have limited contacts for parts and motor rebuilds any help would be great
Atm she is a 1776 twin port but the motor is getting lazy and leaky
So I rang rod and he's building a 1916cc signature motor with cnc heads , scat c95 cam , ect ect hopefully it make 130hp and I don't destroy the
gearbox to quickly
G'day salty. where are located would help with referring businesses in your locale. you will get plenty of advice & help on here. Its like your
own personal NRMA RACQ RACV all in 1 plus there's a basic form of road side assistance. if you get stuck somewhere someone will help you out as best
as they can.

Im in south adelaide buddy . Id just like to meet some more vw ppl and go on cruises and what not
Saw your car at Day of the Volksy at TTP.
It nicely done!
There is a monthly meet on Pultney St called ParkPlatz - haven't quite got there myself yet, almost have the old girl back on the road, so not sure
on turn out etc.
User T-34 on here (or https://vdubber.com/events/viewevent/183-parkplatz ) has details on it.
Thanks mate . Yer I was at volkfest too both those shows were really good . Coming from a hotrod background I love the cruising and show scene just
wish I knew more ppl who are keen to have a drive
im trying to find a new motor atm as mine has developed a very bad oil leak and bearing noises
I'm a complete and utter newbie going through a steep learning curve 
Mine still running the original 1500 but it is getting a bit tired - funds pending I'll prob rebuild it when the time comes rather than put something
with more grunt in.
Started striping the old motor . Oil filler was interesting
