In this post, i’ll show you some pictures of my engine’s assembliy, some months after i finished the car, i made some improvements, at the same time i changed the trans, now im saving money to buy parts, im planing a 2110 if it’s possible.

The car didn’t came with the original 40Hp engine, it had instead a 1500, this engine was refurbished by volkswagen in Germany, i know that cause in the serial number it has a “X” at the end, it means is a reconstructed engine, looking at the serials i found that the case was originally for a type2. Cause we broke the engine in the way home the day we buyed it, i just pulled it of the car, and leave it that way for two or three months, then was disassembled and reconstructed one more time. Here is almost impossible to find parts for 1500, so we changed the pistons and cilinders to 1600. We didnt have to much money and cause it wasnt that bad, a lot of parts were reaconditioned and reused, we wanted to finish the engine, we did it right, and some time later i fixed some details we missed, or incorrect parts, but nothing really important. Here are the pictures, the first group during the disassemble, the rest are the assembling.
