Some new updates from the time the site was down.

20th May:
Got all the parts for the lefthand side engine mount finished so I can just weld them on when I go there next time! 8)





24th May:
Got the engine mounts finished and pulled the engine and transmission so I could fully weld the front transmission intermediate mount and finish the snape of it.

Next will be making the enginebay tin so I will keep the enginebay tight from the underside.

Hmm.. Been sort of long time since something actually happened on this project...

But it's not lost in the past yet.

This summer I got back to work some on it again...

First finished the modified busnosecone so it works when I fit the Superbeetle gearbox 27mm forward from stock position.



Also finally finished the triple Zeniths restoration.



Found and scored a set of 16 inch phonedials. Sold the narrow 7x16 and kept the 8x16 for rearwheels.



Fitted. "Still lots of space..."

Also started to have some MS fantasies so I did some research and decided to buy a pair of Triumph Tripple Speed Superbike throttlebodies, and manufactured a spacer/adapter so they fit bolt-on to the stock manifolds..



Had the connectingrods reworked at the shop.



Restored the heads ready to install.



Dug out the repairkit from the shelf.



Started to prepare the casehalves for joining back together two weeks ago.
(Crank and connectingrods mounted in the foiled package in the background)


More to come very soon.
