a way overdue update on this set up... The DTM shroud was/is too narrow for the car and i've had to cut it up... alot! so, while i'm sorting all that out, the car has just sat and sat and sat... I just couldn't get motivated to do the final major cuts on the shroud, so i moped, pouted and procrastinated. NO MORE!!!
I put the old cooling set up back on it, added a 5" air vent to the tin to allow/force more air into the upper engine bay for the carbs to breath and the fan to blow and as soon as i re-sort the #4 barrel on one of the dells (sticky float), the car will come out of hibernation for the summer season! woot!!!! 1 step forward and 38 steps back will come to an end until next winter when i will finish modifying the DTM.
the 2332cc will scream back to life soon! _________________ http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=269496&highlight=speedster <--Notch Speedster

Did you get this shroud? If you bought it and decided not to use it, I will buy it from you. I want one but one on a small discount would be nice  |
