I had an '84 VW Vanagon. The first year they did water cooled "wasserboxer" motors which had massive corrosion problems and the AC was a mechanical mess. Loved driving the thing, but it was awful mechanically. Going from a 240Z which is like driving the back seat to a Vanagon which is like driving on the front bumper is quite an interesting contrast. The only way to get real enjoyment into that hulk was a "Vanaru" motor conversion which drops in a nice performing pancake six Subaru engine. All-in-all, it took me 15 years before I bought another German car.

Smoked the number 2 rod bearing at Harris Hill race track, notice the piece of metal on the surface of the left bearing is gone. -
Amazing! How did you prep the surface prior to paint. Any primer? -
Number 2 rod bearing is out of round and oval. It was making a loud knocking sound after throttling up out of a corner at Harris Hill racetrack. Other rod bearings are round. Round good, oval bad... -
And the valve cover! Should check ebay to see who is selling it. -
Hah!!! I was wondering if you were going to spot that. No getting one by ya. I personally hold you responsible for me blowing my motor up! Your electric upgrades fixed a nagging problem in my Z which made me drive the car more to the point where I took it to the race track and fried my block. You evil evil bastard. -
Kick arse!!! Thanks for sharing! -
Missed one spot weld and made a rip in the sheet metal... -

I've seen worse, much much worse

Using spot weld hole saw drill bit from Harbor Freight. Doing this work when the motor is out is pretty easy. -
