Back from my holidays!
Sorry for the slow blogging folks but I've been away in Portugal for a week away from the world of VW's.
Didn't see anything of interest out there apart from huge numbers of Renault 4's (which I kinda like) and this funky 3 wheeler advertising a cheesy English pub in one of the towns nearby!
This is where I was staying
Spent some time teaching the little guy (nephew) the finer arts of captaining his very own ship!
p.s. these pics were taken on one of only 2 days when the sun was shining!!! We had major storms the rest of the week!!! never mind eh!

Bye bye J-Tubes
Remember these NOS heat exchanger to body pipes I got from BerT3
Well - I finally got them onto the Notch as this weekend finally got my two NOS heat exchangers on! so the J-tubes went in the garbage!
Whilst I was at it -I fitted my NOS exhaust too - not before I painted it - thought I'd give some BBQ high tem paint a go to see how long this stuff lasts on a zorst!
The rest of the single carb conversion is nearly done - engine looking a lot more stock than it used to do. NOS carb, NOS clamps, NOS rubber elbow and loads of other stuff I've forgotten.
Also put on the correct type of dizzy for this year too!
