on my way to EBI i suffered an oil leak from 912 style oil filler/tower. I blame myself for not tightening the nut enough. As I hate the stock style bolt with its need for special tool to tighten it, I got myself this new bolt made as a special order:  Now I can tighten it down with a 22mm wrench. |

New transmission, CSP torque bars. I rehashed the transmission mounting system from CB Rhino mounts on stock cradle to stock Type 2 mounts on HD cradle to get noise to reasonable level. Mohr mount with rubber pads instead of urethane. Shift rod bushing changed for new one, shift rod coupler cleaned, inspected for wear (virtually none) and lubed (I´m using stock VW cage with urethane pads) Berg shifter dismantled, cleaned and lubed. We´ll see what it will do :-)  |

NOS beam stiffeners I got at EBI4! dosnt really matter, but just for discussion sake are those NOS or are they the new ones by CSP? reason i am asking is all Type 181 imported into or built in Indonesia has these stiffeners instead   the ones you have fitted are usualy fitted to Type 1 cars from the factory |

I got the bolt-on stiffeners at the swap meet at EBI4 from a guy, who stated he got them with a bulk of parts from South Africa many years ago. I got them with a factory blue box, part number 111 498 001A. He stated that south african VW factory equipped all bugs produced there with these stiffeners. CSP is now making very nice reproduction of these stiffeners.
The indonesian double style weld on stiffeners are exactly the same I had on a VW 181 from the factory, but I sold the whole beam with stiffeners to a guy building baja bug.

new stance..rear torsion bars reindexed up. You can see the repaint of the part of the body due to accident of previous owner (army). I had to cut, weld, paint..I consider to repaint the rest of the car next year.  Nice Bosch switch I found on old electrical device now serves for priming the 48DRLAs, Line lock control light is near the radioplayer  EBI 2014 here I come!  nice touch: RAL 6014 gelbolive paint on old Berg shigter  Parts I use  I know..oil drip. next Schadek will be o-ringed  my weapon of choice  |

Well I dumped so much money into the buy, that it will stay in truly original condition I´m soo excited. I will travel 750 miles through Germany after I pick it up from the original owner! |

I let the former owner to return the car to original condition before receiving payment, so now it is sporting stock 4x130 steelies and it´s on original height...adjustable beam stayed on the car, though...  Sweet fact is that Type 147 shares the same chassis with Ghia and Type 181 so I can swap all the performance parts from my Thing into Fridolin if I go crazy:-) |

Cool car! It'll be refreshing to see one not "slammed". (think I just threw up in my mouth from saying that). Congrats on your acquisition.

looking for a cheap camber compensator now :-) that Fridolin is very unstable against what I´m used to from my Type 181. The increased weight of 200 extra kilograms against beetle, high point of gravity and battery in the engine compartment doesn´t help either :-)
