New to Site and asking advice
I am new to this site and am wondering if someone can provide me with advice.
I am after a new or reconditioned engine for my 1960 beetle. I have restored the Beetle and just want a really reliable stock engine.
Does anyone have any knowledge of new imported engines (where to buy) or whether reconditioning my existing engine would be best. If reconditioning
is better - where/who on or near the Sunshine Coast Qld? |

You can buy the new motors from Custom Off Road in Stafford or Mick Motors which is a little closer.

You wont know untill you split the case.You will save a heap of dough if you can get away with a recon and reusing the good parts.
As for the recon work, try the local VW club for the low down of who's doing what in your area.

ago and it was pretty god .... hope that helps.
