After having WPVW build and install a TypeIV engine in my Square the gearbox started complaining about the extra go.


Eventually fouth quit, so I replaced 4th and the beyond worn bits.
Until I can afford something stronger.

The body is starting show some r**t and unfinished repair work, but time and money are in the negative so I'm using $80 worth of pressure packs to repaint it bright green.

Because I don't have a place of my own ATM this is on my mums driveway^

The new engine is very noisy. I had my thick foam mattress in the back and it helped but now I'm replacing that with $250 of soundproofing from clark rubber, lining the engine bay and dampening the panels.

I'm in a rush because this is my daily driver and I need it to travel back and forth from Thredbo-Wollongong regularly over winter.

I have no money because at Easter my ex and I separated.



The engine is running so well, I've done several thousand km since September including a Sydney-Melbourne-Albury-Thredbo-Sydney drive in 40hrs.

Congrats

VWs are meant to be driven
