bugsntinas

thank you. At least one of us hasn’t lost 5he plot :)

my memory has got so bad I can’t even remember the name of the carb. It’s the original type that always gave trouble. Mines an early mk5 1.6 pinto,Oo I remember that lol, the poor old girl is just sitting outside being neglected now :(

Welcome

I’ll hav3 to start looking

How hard is it to get the front inner wing repair sections for mk5’s? Now I’m keeping mine I migh5try to correct some of the repairs and was never happy with the wing mountin* panel.

I’m trying to buy panels for the bug as the rust n the van is lower 4inches so not worth buying whole panels

Plenty of space and time but lack of money lol. Roll on the nicer weather.

I know what ya mean but like a lot of people to man6 projects and not enough cash. I bought an old iveco camper to do up but used the savings to buy a Ford cargo. then used the savings for that and bought a beetle to do up so t8me to stop buying:)

Well after having the car up for sale over here for over a month and only about 6 enquiries ( not serious ) it looks like I’m keeping the old girl. She’s surplus to requirements and can’t really afford to insure her but she’s here to stay for now.

Richard Norton aka cork Tina had her but bvhe sold it to someone in uk a few years back

Cheers for that. I take it the narrower end goes to the rear of the rocker

Starting a new thread on this. how do you fit a rocker gasket as I’ve never fitted one on any car before. I just got one from the motor factor and it isn’t the shape I thought. if it’s right going by the pic already sent how does it fit

Cheers for that Steve I really hadn’t a clue :). Will have to wait for some decent weather now.

Can I ask you guys what is the gasket meant to look like. One of my local factors has ordered me one but it is one piece it has one corner cut out ,is that right,I never changed one before.

would it be anything serious causing it or just a failed gasket do you think.
