Vw 1975 single cab pickup
Hi guys and gals
I am soon to be the happy owner of a '75 vw single cab pickp which has a standard 1.6 air cooled engine and bhp of about 5.
Does anyone have any experiance on changing the engine for a straight swap please?
I thought though not surf related, this might be a good tech place to ask.
Thanks - I would like to replace it with a big tin of beans :-) & brakes of course lol
