Hi guys, been a long time since I logged in the last time, but couldn't stand letting the 'old folks' from finalgear know what's going on with my beetle.
It's been restored in original state, (see picture).

It now has the original 1300cc 40hp engine, I bought a new one... an 1835cc dual Weber 40IDF carbs, AS41 carter (oil pan?), 041heads, Mahle Pistons, Engle 120 camshaft, lightent flywheel, and more.
I will be getting front-diskbrakes and some oil-temperature gauges. I still have the 'short' transmission, but maybe I'll replace that with the 'long' tranny, now the topspeed will be around 100mph/160km/h.
It will have around 90-100 hp (I keep the original dual exhausttips so it could have a few more horsepower) So it might be called a 'sleeper' lol.
Gonna bring it to the shop tonight and hopefully it will be back within 2 weeks!
This is the engine:
