Our family 1966 classic VW Beetle 1300 was originally shipped to New Zealand as a CKD from Australia.We found it for sale on the internet and decided that it was perfect to recondition.This is the story of its rebuild.

Overhaul complete
Well, after nearly 4 months the engine overhaul is complete. When I removed the engine and checked it out there was an old carb jet in caught by the intake valve on number 4. Easily fixed but I decided to do a full overhaul while the engine was out. Quite a job but very enjoyable. I got lots of help from the local VW Club and Mark from The Metric Nut in Christchurch. Rings, valves, clutch etc etc etc all replaced.
