Hi from WA
Hi guys.
You lot have already helped me out on a few questions so I thought it was time to say hello.
I live just south of Perth in WA and I have been into aircooled VWs for about 10 years. At the moment I'm running a 58 Beetle in really good
unrestored condition, with a new battery in she never misses a beat.
Adjusted the valve clearances the other day and now the exhaust sounds quite a bit louder and the engine sounds more like someone’s dropped the
cutlery draw, I think I'll have to recheck them to make sure they aren’t too wide (although some where solid before I adjusted them).
I'm gona keep the 58 pretty standard but would like to get a bit more power from it.
I also have a 72 Semi auto which I'm thinking about putting a WRX motor in because I have had it on the market and there have been no takers so I
might as well do something fun with it.
Cheers and I hope I can help you guys out sometime.
Dicko.

Hello!
I'm in WA too, north of the river. Might see you about, I'm always looking out for other bugs driving around. I'll give you a wave!
