AS41 Build - New Stock Muffler and Tail Pipes

AS41 Build – New Stock Muffler and Tail Pipes

Posted on 2019-10-21

So in addition to the new engine not really starting, I’m having severe issues with leaks from the pre-heat tubes and risers. The gaskets are just not dealing with it and unfortunately, the manifold’s pre-heater pipes really need some metal work due to how aged they are. Buying a new intake at this stage is…

Sunset Classics - Minnesota

Other People’s Cars – Sunset Classics

Posted on 2019-10-21

I have to admit I love wasting time at Sunset Classics, a consigner of all kinds of classic cars, with quite a past and present inventory of VWs. I love the fact they leave the galleries up of their sold cars which contains many many many pics per vehicle from all different angles. It really…

Żuczek 2025 – The rear pop outs!

Posted on 2019-10-202019-10-20

So one of the people in the Super Beetles Only! group on Facebook shared a picture of the installation of one of his pop-out rear windows on his newly painted body and it is exactly the look I’m going for with the set I bought. They will be dechromed and painted black and top coated…

Gasket Material

Blank gasket material

Posted on 2019-10-19

While at the hardware store grabbing some bolts and nuts to attach the heat risers to the pre-heat pipes of the new engine, I saw that they have various size rolls of fiber gasket material. I decided to snag one of the smaller rolls to have on hand in case I ever need to quickly…

AS41 Engine – Installing more of the stock setup

Posted on 2019-10-19

Since I am now down to just wanting to get the engine running and installed into Żuczek, I am no longer really concerned about appearances anymore. I did not bother to repaint the stock intake that came off the AE engine. It really needed a bit of work as well as some extra metal added…

Torn down

AS41 Engine – Installing stock carb setup

Posted on 2019-10-13

So after 90 minutes of trying to start the engine with the EMPI EPC 34s and the extractor exhaust, as well as that 90 minutes consisting of nothing but gun shots out of the carbs and exhaust, I gave up. Yeah. I could have taken a sledge hammer and pretty much just destroyed the whole…

AE Engine Clean up - Muffler

AE Engine – Engine Tear-Down 9

Posted on 2019-10-122019-10-12

So the last 2 parts I have to tear down of the the AE engine are the crankshaft and the heat exhanger to muffler connection. And I have pretty much exhausted everything to break the corrosion here. I have used PBlaster multiple times and multiple sessions of heat and I just cannot get it to…

Type 1 Doghouse Shroud Thermostat Flaps

OPP – Thermostat Flaps Removed

Posted on 2019-10-122019-10-12

So quite a few weeks back I purchased a bunch of random air-cooled parts from Euroworks Garage to set aside as spares or to complete the various engine cases. One item was a complete doghouse fan shroud from 71 or 72 that still had a complete set of flaps, oil cooler tins on the rear,…

The Garage of Love ready for winter

The Garage of Love™ is ready for winter (mostly).

Posted on 2019-10-122019-10-12

So my so-called  Garage of Love™ is now mostly ready for winter. During the summer, I more or less like to have both bays free to move around and make a general mess. I tend to work many days on something, then reset all my tools again and clean up, then start over. Yeah. Sometimes…
