Just thought i would put a pic of my engine up now im almost done....
Awesome! how about pics of the rest of the car too 
Sweet engine bay man, much cleaner / tidier than mine
Are those IDF's you have ? It looks like you have the CB performance throttle linkage on too. I've got 40 IDF's on the CB linkage and
manifolds, and they fit pretty tight in a 1303 engine bay. How did you go tightening up the rear nut on the carby - manifold joint ?
Or did you put the manifold and carby together out of the car, and then connect them to the motor ?
Whereabouts in perth are you ? Are you in noH20 ?
Doug
yeah.... umm they are the CB (porsche) linkages, and yuppo they certainly are quite tight what you do is make up a special spanner for the job, bit of welding and grinding and you can make up a right angled ring that fits and can tighten the nuts. I live in bicton, what is noH2O?? a club i guess... how do i become a member.... ??? i have no idea where to get parts over here, i order them from east coast since ive been in perth for only 2 months!!
Nice engine. Packed really tight and plenty of chrome. cool:
Whats the capacity:
Whose ride is parked next to yours that looks pretty cool too!!!???
I'll email you off the names off some respectable VW places in perth - I dont really want to start arguments on the forum. Suffice to say that
the places I reccomend, I only reccomend because of my own personal experiences with them - other people will think differently.
When I put the webers on my car I cheated and cut holes in the side of the engine bay 2 for the spark plugs, and one to get the spanner on the nuts. Slack I know, but a couple of cover plates and you'd never know
they were there.
NoH20 is a no cost club (ie they arent an affiliated club), made up of a group of pretty relaxed blokes in general. They tend to have runs to freo
cafe's and pubs etc. They have a yearly show. You can join via their web site - its http://www.noh2o.org
Definetely a nice ride you have there. Will have to keep an eye out for you on the road.
Actually, update your profile with an email address (just noticed mine is the same and I will email you a few names for businesses.

I love the exhuast. Did you build it yourself or did someone make it. I want the same thing for my 1640 63 bug. I like the hot exhuast with the standard peashooters look. How much did it cost to make?
