Where did you get those weld in vents from? Like the amount of metal you have replaced. Seeing all that rust being cut out makes me happy!  |

Loving that! Did'nt realise you got that much HP in a WBX! and the front valance is really subtle! Loads better than drilling a million holes in your bonnet! Maybe I should go for a WBX motor in mine next time i rebuild it! Loads more HP for your money!
Nice one mate!

Its all about balance and co-ordination. How hard can it be?

does that engine bolt upto a standard bug box? yep, exact fit, the flywheel needs to be changed from a 235mm to a 200/210/215mm type4 one though, and input shaft is shorter so yo need to fit a needle bearing to the flywheel.

Maybe I should go for a WBX motor in mine next time I rebuild it! Loads more HP for your money! Nice one mate! yeah it is a nice option, altho after trying the power next time i may go for a scooby lump as there are loads more parts about for it. saying that... i am hoping to get new MS EFI and turbo for it and that should be scary enough for now. |
