Otto's first car

My son Otto got his first VW today. It's old Sony auto hifi promo car, very rusty, but it was free. Click here for more shots on the Facebook.

Some Stuff

I got NOS 12V Type3 choke element and new chrome ring VDO temp gauge. I need the choke element for TL's stock carb as the other one has a dead choke.

TL Maintenence

Left carb had some fuel leakage, and it caused some fuel smell to the garage, and naturally was a minor fire hazard too, so I changed original Solex PDShits to NOS Dell'orto 40 DRLA's with new Type3 CB Hexbar linkage. Aren't those NOS carbs clean, HUH? Paavo the carb guru was helping me with jetting and he polished the throats just for fun. I also threw in 123 ignition and four tip spark plugs. And new front disks with new FAG bearings, only to find out that it was the rear brakes that were squeeking...
