Engine is back in the hole...

 

But a man smarter than me has pointed out I have the wrong type of pressure regulator, which will explain the over fueling I have after a period on boost...  By happy co-incidence I found Weber Specialties stand and the speed show and had a chat to Murray who tells me they have a regulator designed specifically for blow through twin carb :-)

today I found a piece of my very first VW for sale...  this is the bonnet off my old Baja Bug, I havent seen it for over 20 years.

 

One day I forgot to clip it down, and while heading along the nor-western, it flipped up into the wind screen and tore one of the hinges out.  I replaced it with a spare I had, and can't remember how I disposed of it...

 

The hinge is still broken and you can see remnants of the duct tape I used as a temporary get home repair...

I nearly purchased it, but $5 seemed a little steep...

continuing to do things in the wrong order...

 

got sick of the tight confines of the engine bay, so took a leaf out of 63Ragtop's book and broke out my spot weld drill (and Dremel) and made the rear apron removable.  Also uncovered a bunch of rust I'll have to tidy up...

 

In hind sight this should have been the first modification I ever made to this car...
