Will you be going back to work at all this year?

[Bungle]

yes i need to pay for fuel and camp sites

[Bungle]

drive shafts refitted + new CV boots all round, fuel tank sender rewired as there was about 4 bad joins on a small length of wire, tank area filled with waxoyl and dodgy spark plug removed resulting in stripped threads in the head

that's about it for this weekend work, 1 step forwards and 2 steps back

[Bungle]

got a local engine place to fit a timesert into the head

but as the gasket set i ordered early last week is still in Exeter i couldn't refit my fixed head

so i painted anything that Phil didn't take for powder coating





also fixed the fire wall back in place in the engine bay

[Bungle]

now i have my gasket set i have put the cylinder head back on (still need to read up how to do the tappets ) and alternator stand

i then thought i would check my fan, good job i did as it's the smaller single point one

tried to fit my new hoover oil cooler tin today but couldn't work out how it was fitted, then worked out 1/2 the old one was still there

[Bungle]

tin ware powder coated and refitted but a few small jobs left to do







venturi ring and flaps fitted as well

Wow this is kool

But i will say its an awful engine design though air cooled aswell ?

[Bungle]

so awful it was in production for more than 60 years and a version of it is still in the back end of a porsche now

It's looking cracking Bungle. Oh and I am in the process of purchasing a 1974 Commer PB!!!!! woohoooo

[Bungle]

make sure you start a topic on here with lots of pics

[Bungle]

it's up and in but not connected to anything yet

[clubman katie B.F]

Commer arrives Saturday I hope. Will set up a new project page for it.

[Bungle]

another 1 step forwards 2 steps back

the bell housing is different, i thought it might but everywhere i looked and measured was the same

except where the starter bolts up

the whole lot has to come out again

[Bungle]

bell housing swapped and now the engine runs

just need to sort the wiring out now

who ever rewired bits of it didn't use VW colour codes

and then there's the small problem of the clutch peddle goes to the floor and doesn't operate the clutch
