MAGIC CARPET

For the perfect fitment and workmanship i brought the squareback again to Waskey's upholstery shop to get in the light grey carpet I sorted out.

Fine work @: http://www.waskey.de/

...trailer queen sucks!

Nice narrowed look, stock suspension, CSP vented disc brake and a awesome wheel offset.

Nice neigbour during the stay @ the shop

all i hear is RADIO GAGA radio googoo

A classic dashboard with a modern radio is definitely a "NO GO" so i went to build this well needed unit inside the glovebox. After a quick google search i Found the well made build instruction from

Patrick Scheib, find it here: http://vwtyp3info.de/upload_typ3/Radio/radio.pdf

After lots of hours the beast gets in and the result is 100% perfect

in my point of view.

Many thanks to Patrick for his instruktion manual.

The monting of the both subwoofers and front speakers gets easy considering all the prep work I've done in the past month. To fix the Subwoofer housings it was required to weld that boxes in the body. After that I have to paint the section under the back seat and the side lining again. The upholstery boys from Waskey's in Heidelberg perforated the side liners for better sound thru.

Behinde the front food rest I found a secred place for the diplexer boxes.

Painting the frames and fence and finish the front speaker work.

Engine, the first steps

Yes you see it right, I will use 45 DCOE carbs for my squareback.

I can't tell you how they will work on the flat 4, it is experimental!

The heads are 44/38 SE`s hope the do the job and give me more than

150 horses. The generator is a small Daihatsu spare part that brings

out 12V / 65A, after some modifications on the fan housing and

building brackets and a pulley i will have enough power for the

electrical system. The engine case is NOS for US Superbeetle

fuel injection engines i bought it 10 years ago by the

Wolfsburg Volkswagen Classic Parts Center.

keep it cool

To cool the oil down is one of the most important things

for an big flat four so i decide to bring in a huge Setrab oil

cooler with an electric activated fan. Placing this part in top

of the gearbox isn't a new idea, short oli travel for quick

response was the priority in my case. When I modified the pan

for the 901 gearbox i put some oil and gas tubes in. The front

oil cooler's will be switched on with a racimex thermostat.

The carpet is ready for the wedding...first spy pix

Had a first look at Waskey's shop to check out the finished capret,

I'm speechless !!!

I hope to come over next year to the 2011 Vowoshow

911 / 944 / 361

For the rear suspension i prefer the IRS because to much camber isnt

realy good for the tyres and a quick launch. The IRS Arms are from

an old 944, they have an excenter bore to adjust the toe and the

camber. The spring plates are 944 parts too but to get them in

the Typ 3 subframe they need some modifications, the good thing

is that they have a screw that make it possible to adjust

the wheel load for better balance or if you going to show

a total aligned car you can srew the corner of the car

higher or lower. The spring plate cover is an early 911 part,

it looks like an VW spare part but offers the alternative

to use the 944 rubber that is cured on the springplate.

In all cases better than the urethane parts you can buy for the air

cooled Volkswagen. The brake drums are modified CSP parts,

IRS use but 205 pdc. I narrowed the drums nearly 10mm per side to

bring the 6.5 x 16 inch Steiner`s more in. After machining they get a

chrome finish.

The Fabulous Window Stooges

Hey you! If you need help mounting your Windows you have to ask the

"Fabulous Window Stooges."

In real life they named Stefan and Oliver but for me this both
bloody wankers are the born sealant masters, look what they do
and look how they peer. Thank you guys for your help and mainly
keeping me cool during the fu...ing mounting of the windshield that:

Does not fit!

Does not fit!
Does not fit!

If somebody know a windshield rubber with slot for the chrome trim

that comes in a good quality please let me know where!

All the repro rubbers I get here in germany are rubbish.
