Title: Calling all Norwegains........ Post by: Lee.C on October 20, 2008, 16:02:18 pm I was reading an old copy of DB&HVW last night in bed - September 1977 - and I came accross a COOL letter from a Norwegain guy :o
The letter talks about how hard it is to get hold of "performance parts" for VW engines in europe - but in the end he managed to get together an 1835cc with dual DCN's (good choise ;)) and 284 duration Cam external oil filter and cooler - apparently he had to go to Sweden for most of the parts. The question is does anyone know this guy ??? is he still in the scene ??? His name is Halvor Asland would be interesting to track him down :) Title: Re: Calling all Norwegains........

He had a cool old school 68 or 69 bug back then, sadly the car is no longer around. He is into british sport cars these days.. Title: Re: Calling all Norwegains........
