Pining for vids of doorts. G52 and tiny wheels is going to make it hit it the limiter in 1st reeeealll fast

I do have a bit of a selection of diff ratios available with the 3.9 that's fitted and 4.1 from the ym30 and the original 4.6 

I have some blitz oversized 7mg valves coming from Japan. No idea on actual size or material until they arrive 

Floor shifter raised Floorplan 

Cloth individual seat upgrade which means the flimsy crossbar can go from behind the seats. As well as some luxury brown carpet in place of the brown vinyl. Photos are a bit rough but confident it will clean up nicely 

Scored a parts van via Trademe yesterday 

It had a few parts I needed to get from Japan so it made sense to buy it, take those parts and part the rest. 

Some more Bridgestone wheels have joined. 

These are the stage one that would have come with the beetle cap originally. 

Planing to give these a rebuild and a mild widening perhaps to run an 8/9 stagger for re-certification along with a few other things I would like to revisit.

Have been working on refinishing the beetle earlier centre caps. They originally have a chrome finish but since they are 40 odd years old the set of 5 were all in various states. I hit them with vht wrinkle black and sanded off the faces of the logo.  They look good from far. 

I did try spraying some silver on some cardboard and pressing them down kind of like a stamp but it made a mess. Lucky there are 5...

I managed to get a good price on a piece that I've wanted for a while. 

HKS IPM (Injector pluse monitor) has and adjustable alarm you can set to a specific Injector duty % 

In short - flashing lights and buzzing sounds. Perfect interior accessory. 

I'm thinking this will replace either the additional Injector Controller or Boost controller in the glovebox panel. I'm needing to remake the panel as there are a few things I want to change 

Cables tucked away in some sheathing with cloth tape securing the ends. All getting clipped in to the factory mounting points 

Sizing up the switches for these they will fit nicely into two blank plate slots in the dash

Used these wiring diagrams I found online for fuel pump control with carters oil pressure safety switch and for the thermoswitched fan with a manual override.

Have also put a manual override allocation on the fuel pump incase there are any issues. Used a couple of powertech 30A pre-made relay circuits with switches and swapped pins around to suit my needs  

The hot seat

Have you sorted your radiator filler yet? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32853053737.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.3cd95632UCYCL6&algo_pvid=19c20a98-9f25-4799-a51d-726758680599&algo_exp_id=19c20a98-9f25-4799-a51d-726758680599-6&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"65349876555"}&pdp_pi=-1%3B22.18%3B-1%3B-1%40salePrice%3BNZD%3Bsearch-mainSearch

I have sourced one from China a while back that is indeed that one

Had a bit of a yarn to them about my radiator situation while I was there. 

This is the current setup which has the bottom outlet on the incorrect side for the 4ag. They claim the increase from 1500cc to 1600cc would put this radiator out of use anyhow. I'm looking for a cost effective solution that will fit in the same space, use the factory mounting points and as a bonus have electric fan with shroud attached. 

Width to outside of tanks is 625mm and height 370mm 32mm inlet and outlet sizes
