Welcome to my Web/blog page
I've been a VW aircooled enthusiast since the early 1980s, self taught Volkswagen engine builder starting in 1984, I built my first Baja when I was 15, I'm still learning and enjoying the challenges that modifying 50 year old technology brings.
I do take on VW air cooled engine builds or can assemble an engine from parts supplied by you. Drop me a line to discuss your needs.
I also occasionally have engines for sale, either on here or on Ebay.

Blueprinting Davey's T1/T2 Engine block
Davey asked me to blueprint this used engine block for him as he wanted to build a warmed up 1600cc unit as a spare for one of his vans. The case turned out to be pretty good, which is getting rare these days. It only needs a first align bore to 65.5mm as the centre main saddle has some pounding from the bearing and is 0.2 mm out of true. ...
Rebuilding a 44IDF VW centre mount carb
I had this in the parts bin for years, so as a side line project decided to go through it and completely rebuild it. It was in pretty good shape as I think I bought it over from the states some years ago. I had the body vapour blasted locally and fitted a Weber rebuild kit. Some of the...
