Ohh no Gabe... please tell me there is a good story behind your engine failure.It pains me to say it, but this month just isn't going to work out for a campout/meetup. I have to rebuild my daily driver engine, so that has taken priority over OB items. Sorry guys, but I just can't swing it.
Hope to see you all in April.
Cheers!

Not really, just decided it didn't want to work anymore. . It's a VW so I'm not too worried.Ohh no Gabe... please tell me there is a good story behind your engine failure.
To all of you that have been doing the monthly campout, maybe you could help Gabe out and plan one without him. It doesn’t take a member rep to get these things organized.

It's my 1974 VW Beetle. 1600cc.What flavor is the car/engine that needs rebuilding?

That 1600 is a beast... I’ve helped a buddy do several 1200-1600 swaps when I was in HS. VW engine parts used to be cheap, but that was back when a 74 bug fully decked out would set you back <$1000 Pesos.It's my 1974 VW Beetle. 1600cc.

Dang. Yeah, I'm about to remove it, but haven't had a ton of time to dedicate to it.That 1600 is a beast... I’ve helped a buddy do several 1200-1600 swaps when I was in HS. VW engine parts used to be cheap, but that was back when a 74 bug fully decked out would set you back <$1000 Pesos.

The cool thing about these motors... stupid simple to rebuild. From time out of bug to time in bug compl rebuilt was less than 8 hours. This assumes no block work needs done and you are using aftermarket headsDang. Yeah, I'm about to remove it, but haven't had a ton of time to dedicate to it.
