Mk1 16v Project

The latest issue of VWMA is out with Part 2 of my engine build in it (the head), so you guys should grab yourselves a copy.

Here's what you're missing out on (Among a whole swag of other stuff that's a whole lot cooler)...




Yeah, yeah, yeah.. I'll get back into it. But feel free to put **** on me about my lack of progress anyway..

Cheers man.

Yeah should be good fun if we can all get together some time. Speaking of which.. I have that grille stored in a safe place. I'll have to organize with you deliver it.. Can't give it to a freight company.. That would end in tears!

I'm not a kart king. I have just been involved long enough to learn a bit about it.

HURRY THE **** UP!!!!

I had forgotten about this lol. I saw the new post and thought "someone's started another 16v swap, sweet!"

Have you got everything back out of that bay yet? Or are you waiting on having everything mounted so you won't need to drill anymore holes in your fresh paint?

Haha.. Yeah it's taking forever.

Yes I want to have everything done so that when I pull it out and paint it, it'll just be a reassembly job (I hope). It's your run of the mill "Build it twice" deal.

Went to see the radiator dudes this week. They have my tanks... That's about it. I told them to Hurry TFU. haha. I'm going to see them tomorrow and say "just build it and give me the bill, screw the quote".


I spoke to the old man about that.. Considering the latest VWMA is out and I haven't fired it off yet (next one is supposed to be about getting it in and running- News to me, Craig! haha).

He said "Well what are you waiting for?" I said, radiator etc etc. He said "Who says you need a radiator to start it!"- Fair point really. So, i've been told to rip the engine and box out, fit a flywheel and clutch and stick the thing back in. It has everything else to start it, so there should be no dramas..

Watch this space. (Don't really.. Who knows how long i'll take. Ha!)

That's ok princess, you'll only disappoint the 2 subscribers that are not air coolers any way. :p

[Preen59]

Got the rad for a test fit today (and thermo fan).

Here's some crappy phone pics...






There's a couple of small things to sort out, but over all it's pretty sweet. Quite happy with the size and design.
