The Fastest Air-Cooled VW in Lake County, Oregon...

It is good to see you have stayed the course and are moving forward with the project.

I put all the credit on the deal that John gave me on a case.  Had it not been for that, there's no way I could have moved forward.  I've got a 1600 to put together and hopefully sell, as well as a single relief 1600 short block that I may refurbish into a complete engine with the various nick nacks I have sitting around, but we'll see.  It's all a recycling process to further finance this mania that is VWs. lol

SOVW peeps are the best! 

Did you send the case to VW Paradise?

I haven't done squat since getting the case from John... lol.  I still have a 1600 that I need to get put back together and hopefully sold down the road so I can clear out some working space... then need to yank the motor out of the '70 and tear it down.  Been more preoccupied with non-VW stuff as of late.

Not too much of an update, but my new case has been boxed up and shipped off to VW Paradise; they should take delivery of it this week.  2017 is still in the car, and I believe the snow is slated to fly here in high desert eastern Oregon this week, so not sure when I'll yank it out and tear it down.
