So the vw broke again.... lol

Nah the inner clutch cable tube I dodgy welded on about a year ago snapped the weld and made the clutch a prick to deal with so I jacked it up and realised the cable. Took the bendy hose out and put the inner Rod back into its correct location and welded it all up again. With a gasles welder again. Hoping it will hold another year.

Also the rear is way to high now so will get around to lowering it another inch before the weekend which is stragglers.

Kinda brought another body again... so I gotta hide that some how. Mr West was kind enough to bring back a Rotary adapter plate back from ozz for me so I think il just build another bug out of the spare parts I have.

I sold her minus my 1600 twin port as I gave him options on how he can buy it. He purchased it with the old 1300 single port as he was going to rebuild it himself.

Cash in hand all gone.

Onwards and upwards (more or less side step) from here.

He even read my hole build thread.

Time for Dave to reply to his pm regarding Rotary so I can slap a Rotary bug together now.
