At last... after 9 months without driving my beetle, finally the first ride take place this saturday in the road but now totally different then before.........rebuilded and painted:no:
The assembly of the engine is done and after painted is taking place back in to the engine bay and i must say that i am very pleased from the result.
Everything is in the right position as it has to be!!
The first 200km after the rebulid came very smooth and easy, the rev's didnt pass the 3500rpm.I have checked the oil and water level until the first change in 1000km.
GAZ struts in combination with bigger rear torsion bars provide better handling and gives you the feeling that it "reads" very well the road.
After the bumper will be replaced and painted by end of the next week some things may left to be introduced:
1.oil pressure gauge
2.bosch universal lamda
3.throttle reversed cable.
and a few photos from the first ride... :
