In late 2015 I felt that a Volkswagen would be nice to have as a summer cruising car.
This would then become my 6th Type 1 VW.
Since my first motorcycle was a "Bird machine" the Honda 650 Nighthawk, I see this VW as the Road Runner.
This is the picture I used to study in my early years.
I was fascinated by the cutaway picture of our VW The picture is found in the VW owners manual. Old school oscilloscope ignition waveforms .(Swe) Ignition waveforms viewed on oscilloscope .(Eng)
Oscilloscope adapted to the ignition system .(Eng) |
The year is now 2019, the Road Runner VW has not been touched in 4 years.It seem as if my time plan again was very optimistic and miscalculated.
The 50 years old car was taken to the MOT check, and to my surprise the only notification was to patch some minor rust damages, and then show up within 30 days. BN motor fixed the problem, and the VW is now on the road again. Some standard tuning procedures were of course taken care of as described in the slide show below. Also fitted 185/14/80 tires on the car. The steering wheel is replaced, but the interior is still a catastrophe. |
