Tim Osburn (Ralph Spoilsport) here. I pulled the motor out of my 1956 euro
Beetle and took it apart on my basement workbench. Awaiting heads being
returned from CA for refurbishing and I'll put it back together. I'll probably
drive the car around a lot this summer, then, perhaps, I'll put 'ol Ebon on the
market. My '74 Westy Weekender is rarin' to go on a trip somewhere. It's the VW
I'll keep till I'm dead!

Has anyone else here done anything recently on their Type 1s?
First, it's great you are out and about meeting new VWs and their owners. I
like those 2.2 ecotech engines. I worked on my daughter's Cobalt. Not the
engine though, always ran great, even after it was totaled when parked. :-(I'm
still getting my Type I engine back together after some valve stems nearly gave
way. Good thing I check my gaps regularly. Just need to weld my heater boxes
and wait for the temp to go above 30 °F.
My daily driver is a 2013 Subaru Impreza, my fourth Suburu. If my VW engine
wasn't so low-mileage I'd plop a subbie in there for sure. Though I'd like to
put the engine in front and keep the all-wheel drive.I don't know if that would
come close to fitting, but since it's just a dream it doesn't really matter.
If you have a second, check out my geocities page from back in the day.
