Thanks for that Si -& welcome to the site by the way. Got any other cars in your collection we can feature in our Motors section?

Not got anything cool at the mo.

In the process of building a 64 bug drag racer with a 2L turbo subaru motor.  Hopefully gonna get a 6 or so inch chop on it as well.

Other than that, there's my missus' '69 Mustang Notch Back i've gotta finish..

I built this a while back running a 2.2L Subaru motor and a few trick's up it's sleeve

P.S. the images won't take up any of your bandwidth as they're hosted on one of my servers and linked across so it takes up mine instead ;)  Unless you meant so that the pages would load quicker fo dial-up users.

Let me know if you still want them re-sized.

Cheers,

Si

I have here a VW 1200 engine thats never been fitted into a car, it's in a display frame with a small petrol tank and all, it's only every ran for about 20 hours maybe and not run for the last 14 years. It is brand spanking new.

Cool.


'Cept it's still only about 35 bhp :D

Gone are the days of the old aircooled motors in my dubs ;)  Cheap disposable power by chucking in an increasing supply of knackerd Subaru's with decent engines :D

Yer no street rod engine but for someone doing a rebuilt to standard it's a good find, if you know anyone who might want it

Si,
I keep saying it, but we're always looking for stuff to fill the Motors section. Write us a few words, as much or as little as you like, add a few piccies & bundle it all off to Yoda at the address on the Contacts page & when he gets a chance he'll post it for you. Some engine close ups would be good. Would be interested in seeing the Mustang too.

K. didn't realise you wanted to sell it.

There's a chance someone will have it on either my site www.volkstorque.co.uk or VZi.

Either send me some deails & a pic i.e. how much you want for it and i'll post it in the for sale section or sign up & post it :)

Manky Monkey,

I'll get some details together.
