BRAAAAAAAAARP!

Sorry for the lack of updates - we've been out driving! :-) :-)

Exhaust

So this is it. Worth the wait.

Exhaust arrives!

Great news today - our Mr.Wob Abarth exhaust is in the country! Hooray!
A big thanks to Julian from Karmann Konnection for his persistence in getting this over - cheers! It should be over at Farnborough VW tomorrow. Then it will need modifying to fit the narrower engine.

Complete turn-key 34/40hp Okrasa for sale...

Hello oldspeed fans, here's another thing to tempt your life-saving from unfer your mattress, a turn-key 34/40hp okrasa complete motor build by Mr.Okrasa (Joe Ruiz). On ebay - here. Mmmmm.

The bug goes in...

Took the bug over to Farborough VW yesterday ready for the temp motor to come out (thanks fellas) and the new one to be fitted. Just waiting on the throttle linkage, which is being adjusted to make it 'just right'. Also - this is the first time we've seen the built-up motor in the flesh -it looks great - even better than the pics. Everything on it is just spot-on. Great work Ian.
Now crossing our fingers toes and anything else crossable hoping for the arrival of the Mr.Wob Abarth exhaust.

New firewall card

Not very exciting, but another step in the right direction - our new Wolfsburg West firewall arrives from Karmann Konnection. It is given the once over by Tigger and approved.

Lavenham pics

It's alive!

Quick video of the first fire-up and running the cam in.

Enigine Build Up Part 5

With the pushrods back it was time for the final assembly - a few pics of here coming together, then being fitted with a temporary 1200 stock exhaust (still waiting for the the Mr.Wob Abarth)...




All hooked up and ready to rock and roll!

Enigine Build Up Part 4

More pics and updates (cheers E!)...

He reversed the oil line going into the pedestal (compare it to the earlier post if you're interested) so it fitted neater around the fuel pump, you can see it in this pic...
very neat!

Re-machined pushrods to fit come back...
