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.

Bits & Pieces
Got some good news from Engine Rebuilders yesterday - the 1300 engine block doesn't need to be line bored as it is in great condition. They did recommend that the crankshaft be ground though. Another project to save for. Engine Rebuilders also measured everything up for me so that I can order all the correct parts. $80 well spent in my view. The brake parts arrived for The 66 this week. I had Richard at RIO press out the old bearing and install the new ones. I could have done the job myself, but I feel that for it is a good investment to have the pros do that sort of work. Thanks Richard.
