Some new updates from the time the site was down.

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.:lmao:

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..." :D

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..
