Awesome! Did you do the mandatory 'champion of the world - call to the gods and look at me jump' when the engine ran??

Hats off to you again Joe.
Outstanding work and commitment.

Great video as usual and love the soundtrack...

Well done Fella.

Great work, yet again, Joe!!!
Whilst watching the video I got right into it.
Don't know if you heard me but when the engine wouldn't start I was yelling out to put petrol in it.
Good to hear it running though.
Sounds like the timing needs some work.

Nice one Joe - well done to take the time to put up such a cool vid!

I'm sure your son would have loved the "spring cleaning" line - definitely a dad joke if I've ever heard one!

Yep my kids get plenty of good ol dad jokes

So this weekend I hope to pull out the gearbox and put in the one donated by Paul, finish off the brakes and steering.

Does anyone have a fuel tank for sale?

Respect, Joe!
More brilliant work and no fear.
I'd be scared to death cutting anything.
DOVW is Day Of The Volkswagen.
I hope to get there this year too.
