    Few more updates on some other parts on the car.

    Got the head bolted back on and moulded sump gasket/wantage plate.





    Gave the starter a mint up, although its fairly new. New water hose.


    Cams in with an XE inlet fitted.


    I’ve re-drilled the inlet pulley on the mill to retard it. New timing mark also scribed in


    Have been thinking about what mirrors to fit. But thought I’d give the stubby mission a go and see how that went. Manage to get the use of a plastic welder which made the job a lot easier!

    Covers cut and welded up


    Then the main bodies... Shortened by 50mm

    Nearly ready for some paint. Just a bit more sanding required.


    Back on to the engine, Cam cover on. Gave it a coat of weld seal just to make sure there isn?t any leaks! A few bits to clean off?




    Inlet mid polish. Didn?t go too mad on, just a spruce up.



    Inlet all fitted up


    Flatted the car back ready for some good weather, then I?ll finish it off.

    Why is there a VW badge hanging from the rear bumper?

    Nice work as always Austin.
    The shorty mirrors look a good job.
