      Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky,

      Waiting for me when I die,

      But between the day you're born and when you die,

      They never seem to hear even your cry

       

      So as sure as the sun will shine,

      I'm gonna get my share of what's mine

      And then the harder they come,

      The harder they'll fall,

      One and all.

       

      Ooh the harder they come,

      The harder they'll fall, One and all

      71 bus. On the porsche front I think these people would beg to differ!

      http://www.volksworld.com/news/videos/450416/fast-vw-beetle.html

      All VW engines, first one is a non turbo 1.8!

  23. Not long till holiday time and the sun is shining (until the holidays start anyway!)

  24. VW crank bearings should be round not oval and you shouldn't be able to peel the phos. bronze off with ur fingers!

      Is this on an older Vdub or a new one?

    2. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      That doesn't sound good. Where were the parts produced?

    3. devondynosoar118

      devondynosoar118

      It's a '71 bus!

      If you have to drive them like I have even when they are a bit poorly it usually kills the centre main bearing! If I had loads of money I would have bought a new engine, instead I have had to make 2 from junk parts!
