bit of a up date to the retro classics page http://blog.retro-classics.co.nz/?p=1981 must add the front and the back are now the same hight the shocks were holding the front up so took them out big thanks to Michael for the up date

made it to the club run in napier, the rat ran really well got down and back with no engine problems just a few electrical things to sort out came home with no wipers and one headlight but its all part of the fun of vw's, decided i'm going to sell the narrowed/lowered beam as i cant get used to the way it looks

dude pm the address and ill try v dub club has a run on sunday

it was 3 but i had to come up 1 as i could not get off my dam driveway without doing damage to the engine, down your way this weekend what you up to?

yer found out today the shocks in the front where holding it up so took them out, now all good

wheel nuts are on the list. i sure 3 will hold it on for now lol

narrowed the beam by 3"and now 4"closer to the ground but needs to be lower new old roof rack and wheels pic's to come soon

thanks dude

thanks dude hope to have it done by the weekend

failed the wof but not to bad just brakes head lights need to be inproved ?and get the number plate light to work and thats it clutch judder real bad i'll have to pull the motor and have a look but it's all smiles in my shed

off to see the wof man i think it's all done just have to make him see it that way

just found this again i did not make it to the nats as one of the kids got flowen to starship the day before it started but all good now. did a rewire on the engine bay got the carb to work (been sat for years) looking at going for a wof at the weekend so heres hopeing kev

love it

not sure wot to do with it yet as i still have to get home and have a look at it. heres the pics i was sent. this is my first type3 so i will have to wait to see how it all works

Been there, done that and got the headache to prove it. Seriously, you need a 3lt cross member, engine mounts, a set of rover engine mounts, range rover alternator bracket, 3lt radiator, gearbox adaptor plate, pipe bender so you can bend up your headers, dual plane inlet manifold, 390 holly carb with vacuum secondaries (this keeps the height down so you don't have to cut your bonnet). If you are going for power steering you need to keep the 3lt/2.8lt resevoir and you can mount this on the suspension turret. I will post some pics of my old one as soon as I can find them. All the brakes can stay as they are as the rover v8 is the same weight as a 2lt ohc. If I think of anymore I will post it up. But this should keep you going for a while! And if you need to, just ask as always happy to help if I can. Kev

10 speed, thats kind of it but with og paint tortron, the visor is steel and sorry but i'm going to use it on this bug bistro, sorry to tell you bro but it's blue hope your not sparky lol sparkle, it will be low but how low i'm not sure yet and yer love the air cooled stuff thank's to all so far keep it coming. kev
