Today was our first official day working on the type 3. The previous owner had installed a single carb conversion. The height of the carb body and air cleaner where going to pose some problems when we drop engine. So, they had to come off. Originally, I was planning on removing the body from the intake pipes, but couldn't pry those loose. So, we removed the pipes from the heads and took it out in one piece.
Quote of the evening: after seeing how dirty his hands were, Ian said "Dad, you know we have mechanics gloves?" Well, I figured it would do him well to get his hands dirty for the first time!

| My hands are clean, so far |

| Looks like it's going fast, just standing still! :) |
