If I didn't know better, I'd say that was a brand new engine. Looks good! You know I wanna be there when you turn the key for the first time! _________________ "It's what you feel, not what you ought to. Reasonable and sensible." '75 Golf Yellow Automatic 2002 with Weber 32/36 DGAV - "Karl"

Did you paint the rocker cover with wrinkle coat or did you have it powder coated? I'm thinking about getting mine done. _________________ 1973 Chamonix auto squarie

Subject: Re: UPDATE

just doing a bit of an update for the blog, car is on the road and has being for the past 3 weeks! Not too many dramas as of yet but I have got a pretty big list of things to do! Major things to do: Rejet carby's, fit vacuum advance, fix heater box, get 5spd box and some bigger wheels. They are the major parts but I also have more future performance mods and hopefully some better body mods! LSD, EFI, BOOST, Suspension work and of course turbo body kit!
When the weather clears up here I will get out and get some decent pics of the car.

They dont have any but they can bring them in from the US, normally they buy a palate of say 5 or so diff's then sell them off. If we can get enough interest around I'm sure I can have a word to Erik about it. As for turbo plans first EFI then I will really start thinking of turbo but as of now, I've got another 2 and a half years before I'm legally allowed it! But EFI with will ITB and then also rework the head, larger valves, double valve springs and a port of course, cant forget the extractors!

Hey bingbong if you're still looking for a 5 speed you could expand your search to include E30 M10 5speeds, seeing you've got custom gauges anyway it would be easy to adapt an electric speedo. EDIT: OK that wasn't your car you were referencing in the other thread but just 1 from bavariacars site....you probably have stock gauges.

Heres a new update, still looking around everywhere for parts and now have a nice 5spd OD gearbox, plus some extractors!

The extractors will probably get a ceramic coat and maybe some of that sexy exhaust wrap stuff, keep the heat down as much in the engine bay.

Now I need to find a 3 pin front half shaft, wont be that easy from what I hear!

Were those extractors previously on a Qld race car? _________________ 72tii - Whitey 74 - Blacky

Are you going to bead blast the extractors or just hit it with a wire wheel? _________________ 1973 Chamonix auto squarie

Subject: Re: UPDATE

Yes I do believe that is true, I picked all these items up from Skippy on this forum. (good guy++) I'm not sure how I will do it yet. May just hit them with a wire wheel as I have a new one waiting to be used!

Glad it all arrrived safely. I was a little nervous shipping it in the old dog crate. One thing I forgot to mention is that you will probably want to replace the rubber o-rings on the selector rods as I think they had stretched and gone out of round. If you need any photo's of the headers mounted/mocked up, drop me a line. _________________ "Why is one of my reverse lights on in 4th?"

Have you installed your new bucket seats yet? Did they come with rails? Where did you pick them up in Sydney. I'm on the lookout for a decent looking set of bolt-ons as Recaros are looking way to expensive to be a viable replacement for my ratty looking stock seats. _________________ 1973 Chamonix auto squarie

I have bolted mine in. They are not direct bolt in, I just cut up some thick steel and drilled holes to bolt through. I bought them from JustJap down south, $500 for the pair.

When you get a chance, could you post some pics of the set up you used to bolt the seats in? I wouldn't mind seeing before I go through the same process. Are you going to mount harnesses for track days etc? _________________ 1973 Chamonix auto squarie

Subject: Re: UPDATE

Its a fair basic setup, heres a basic computer sketch. Black's the metal, i think its about 7mm thick, braces across the seat for the rails. Red is the rails. simple and easy.
