Hey Rob,

the car was painted VW L95 burgundy red.

Cheers,

Tobi

OK, yesterday was the first day I felt like tackling some hurdles.
First thing that needed to be fixed was the oil leek. My first assumption was that it was coming from the crank seal. But this is a new one, so I had my doubts.
Then it accrued to me that I deleted the doghouse oil cooler with a bypass plate. So I started with checking the doghouse cooler bypass plate first.
Turns out the top of the engine was covered with oil so my guess was right.
checked the plate and it was completely crooked.

after an hour of flat sanding it came out a lot better

mounted it with (again) new rubbers hoping the problem is fixed.

thanks Richie!

This is an excellent working pro comp transmission built by wright gear box has less than 50 hours on it was used in my friends sandrail but he blew his 2332 motor so he pulled the motor out to rebuild it, but passed away before he could rebuild it so I have the tranny and it shifts smooth as it should like it was new I have it installed in a 66 just to make sure and it's Awsome my friend paid over $2700 to have this built you can come check it out if you are interested
Picture shows installed in the 66 and it's still in it so serious interested parties can come and tested themselves

Specs -
5:38 ring & pinion with a stock 4th gear
Close ratio 3-4
Perfect for off road or drag racing

I am asking only $2K Or Best Offer

Well done for getting it finished enough to make it to EBi  , many people would have given up with everything you had to deal with recently so good job

cheers Richie 

thanks! I'm very happy with the outcome, but like I said, there are some things to do now.
- First thing is finding the oil leak and fixing it. I'm afraid it's coming from the main seal, so might have to pull the engine out again.
- Also need to adjust the carbs, it's using to much fuel, way to much 
- If the engine is coming out I might as well take it to Nicolas (weirs) to get it finetuned and be ready for many miles to come
- Handbrake release came loose, need to fix that
- car is going straight, but could do with an alignment.
- also the interior needs finishing, I used the inserts of my old seats but they are the wrong shape, so that's something I'll take on in the next few weeks.
