Sorry Alpal, didn't see your post until now
I haven't driven it a lot as it's unregistered. Seems to go alright around town but I'm betting it would struggle on the highway. I've noticed the acceleration flat spot that's spoken about with the 009 distributor, but I'm not sure I've really warmed it up fully on the short drives around the nearby streets.

Need to replace the muffler to get some rego.
Harry is at the panel beaters getting a new roof and rust removed so I need Lalya on the road so I can get my Kombi fix.

It might get a bit windy in there, but you can fix it up.
What are you plans for "poor old Happr?"?

I bought a complete new roof panel so that will go on after all the rust is removed. Roof will be repainted orange. New windscreen, new headliner and pop top will be repainted.
