Melburg Luft

just fixed it today, i used a 5c coin, belt sanded it smaller and used some sikaflex to seal, then peened the edge to hold it in.

the 5c fix.... lol

hey everyone,

betty cracked the shits with the carby yesterday, the inspection window for the throttle body popped off, so now its getting too much O2, and instead of botching up a fix, i'd rather replace it.

anyone have a solex carby to suit a 1600 sp?

hey everyone, i know im gunna feel like a jackass, but im gunna tell you all anyway. the starter motor is fine, it was the dead battery. before you all roll around on the ground laughing, just lemme explain... my mum lent me her Shit box holden(to quote peppermintjones "i feel a bit of sick in ...

hey everyone, the starter on my daily driver blew up and i need one ASAP to get to work. its a 1600 motor on a 6v gearbox, with a 12v flywheel, so i need a 12v starter to suit a 1600. i can do some panelwork if you would rather a trade on services, and if you would go for that then i'll make sure yo...

hey guys, im after a few old steering wheels, i dont mind if they are cracked, the cheaper the better, can do work for them. also after guages, any kind. shifters, if you have any old unused ones, after them too. just call me on 0434621084, anytime. i am fixing up all these old parts, putting new le...

thanking you very muchly

i think that would be a very handy thing to do, typical i didnt think of it lol.

so what do you guys think? would you lend a hand mate? or was it "give us a chop" or something like that...

kool. thanks mate

it does sound like its a pretty bad problem, but i am happy to work on a broken engine, i would actually prefer it, because i want to learn more about it. what would you want for it? i am really not good for cash, but i can do panelbeating and roof racks... can do cash if its the only thing that wil...

sorry to hear about that kevin, but yea im interested

lol my bad. was tired when i posted.

thanks for the offer, but im after a 1600 twinport, so that i can get bigger pistons and sleeves and maybe get a 1.8 out of it.
thanks tho

well then maybe i can interest you in a worn out old 1600 sp?

well u gotta be gettin some for that to happen...

poo rake?

anywho, lining up a 1835, so maybe i'll be able to keep up now.

will tell more when there's more to tell

yea, fair enough. im just sick or being blasted by brent, i cant even keep up to his oval, when i pull up next to him he always has enough to pull away. and the last straw was when brent and i went for a cruise to get engines tuned, and 2 very attractive betties drove straight past my beetle to ogle...

yes, it does differ, but what i mean to say is, i reserve the right to keep tinware from my old 1600 before i trade it on another 1600. when you think about it, if someone out there has a 1600 twin port laying around, you could give it to me, and say 6 months later you would get a fully working 1600...

hey, im looking for a 1600 twin port (or dual port, as some prefer). It can be in pieces, missing bits, anything, just after one i can work on and do up while i drive in mine. Im not too good with money, but i can offer panelbeating in trade, or panelbeating with some money, depends on the size of t...

Im after a front beam for an early beetle, to suit a 62. I will be making it into an adjustable beam in the future while still driving my car around on my beam. Also, If anyone knows what front shockers I should get to accompany an adjustable beam, let me know thanks. I'd like it to be complete, but...

but how much do you know about lowering? once the beetle is rego's the customising will begin lol. i wanna lower it soon, next few weeks. you ever done it?
