Almost there...

Getting ready for the break in run soon! Well, I was hoping it to be a week or 2 sooner but seems that it will take a few "nights" to get this baby into the car and finnish all the small little details. But, I'm sure it will be worth it in the end...

Worked on getting the engine all lined up, loads of small cutting of the sheet metal to make it fit... By now I'm absolutely certain they've not seen a beetle in China or Taiwan. Anyway, better than nothing but for a top notch engine bay, one surely needs the OG VW sheet metal... Some foggy images below for you to get the idea where I'm heading. Some plumbing and wiring to do, but other than that, all it needs is a car to stuck it into.

PS: Not sure if it actually fits the stock engine compartment due to the CB BB manifolds... Will tell you all about it with some deck lid stand offs (or hopefully not).
