thanks  bin to a Birthday Party of a good friend which turned out to be a nice small VW meeting with about 25 cars. Did any of you European guys try the new Ahnendorp Customsport Exhaust system? I am thinking about buying it...  |

After a few years of driving I did some changes this winter. I got rid of the old stone chip protection stuff that was cracked all over. Sandblasted and painted the rear fenders from the inside which where never treated before. I still need to apply the new transparent stone chip protection form Timemax. I Converted the 67 to 12V and have installed a freshly rebuild gearbox. Now I need to finish the new 1835 single port engine, install it and dial in the jetting  And finally I got new wheels, first series Ronal wheels with 165/65 and 185/70 instead of 145/80 and 185/80. That should increase the corner speed a bit on our small, windy country roads.     |

Nice Looking wheels! Is that a stock oil cooler youre using in an external position? Do you still have the og unit IN the shroud? Cheers |

Steve nice looking 1967 you have . The type 4 oil cooler you have do you have it with a shield to protect it from rocks or road debris. Also what is your oil temperature with this cooler on .
Take care

thanks Frenchy,
I haven't tested the oil cooler setup yet, with the old engine I had a different setup.
I am planing to protect the cooler with a perforated stainless steel plate.

two shots in the evening in front of my garage. Still on the old wheels as I have clearance issues between the Ronal wheels and the dropped spindels. I will try to sort that this week (set front wheels to 1° negative camber plus 4 mm wheel spacers plus some grinding on the lower trailing arm, I hope that works). Anybody having the similar issues with dropped spindels and 15 inch wheels?   |

Nice car. The bottom trailing arm can be reamed deeper to allow the ball joint sit further into the arm, just another option to gain some clearance.

finally I managed to modify the dropped spindels to make my Ronal wheels fit without rubbing on the trailing arms.
I really like the look of them!
