Super cool you made it to EBI even if the KG's not 100% finished yet.  We have winters to focus on details and finish cars!
Glad you pulled through the dreadful days of you dad passing.  It's sort of a "good thing" it weighs on you, means you guys had a strong connection!

It's just a shame of that fugly 914 in the picture, that ruins the shot imho.  Wink



Thanks!

I wanted to use another picture because the 914 is indeed a little bit of a ugly duckling in the pack, but the guy driving it is allright  Grin

Just kidding, it would have been cooler to have your 67 in the lineup, but the 914 was a cool alternative, great looking car!

Got this fresh 1835 motor I lost the spec sheet but I have 3 other motors built by the same guy and they run perfect so there's no doubt this one is another great built motor it has an Engle 100 cam that I know because I see it I have the oil pump cover it's just not installed it hasn't had any oil in it yet I can give very detailed pictures please ask and I will send many MANY pictures I do have new kadron carburetors I can include for just alittle more $$ (not much LOL)

You were welcome to come take a look and inspect it ... I actually encourage any interested buyers to please come to look at it personally ....

I am asking only $2400 local pickup .... shipping is the responsibility of buyer

where to start since the last update..?
I really wanted to go to EBI with the car so the last few weeks should have been filled with KG-madness. Sadly my dad past away a few weeks ago so I had lost the courage for a few weeks to do anything on the car.
because of all the work my dad and I put into the car, the only right thing to do was to get it done asap. In a way the car helped me cope with the los.
Long story short, I made it to EBI, had a very fun weekend and got some cool compliments.
But for me there are some major hurdles to be taken in the next few weeks to get the car to where I can be extra proud.
friday morning the car had 15km's on it before the departure to chimay, witch is about 200km from my house.
despite it using 20l/100km and leaked oil from what I think is the crank case seal, the car performed flawlessly.
there is a slight colour difference on the front hood and rear valance that need to be addressed by the painter asap, but nothing that can't be fixed.
some moneyshots:

another part needed fixing was the shift rod coupler. When I was younger everything needed to be urethane because red makes you go faster.
The only part left for 39 year old Glauco to fix was the shift rod coupler (apart from the urethane silent blokcks on the Mohr racing transmission mid mount, but that's something for this winter)
The coupler worked fine with the old gearbox, but after the full rebuild and upgrade I had a hard time finding first, after adjusting the shifter I had a hard time finding 4th.
you could also really see the play in the urethane/screw setup
Saw a billet empi coupler at EBI so bought that and installed it yesterday. Havent driven it yet, but I have no trouble finding the gears now...

productive couple of days. Handbrake lever wasn't working like I wanted, so needed to be addressed.
I really wanted to keep the chrome lever, I already put a stock vw mechanism inside to make it function better, last part to tackle was the tensioning mechanism. I cut of the part of a stock lever and replaced the bracket on the chrome lever with die stock one. Cable length is a little bit to long because I made the adapter a little bit too short, might change that if it ever is troubling...

with the rubber mounted (after I check if the handbrake works OK) you will never see the difference, but for me it as important to have it right...
Also mounted new cables as it was the only part left untouched on the entire brake system. 25 year old me couldn't care less for new handbrake cables costing 30euros or so.
used the original clips to keep them in place. Wasn't sure it was going to work with the Porsche to vw adapter, but it turned out great.

These are practically new, only used to mock up my customers Motor then he decided that he wanted to only go back to a stock 1600 Motor, so these pretty much have zero hours on them and were only used to mock up on the customers previous Motor. They are just a little dirty from sitting on my shelf. These we're going into an 1835. Laid over $700 for these so this is being sold at a very fair price "SOLD AS IS)
Heres the link to my samba ad for more detailed pictures https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2804978

I am asking only $500 shipped within the US overseas. Please ask for shipping quote.

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

[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

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