i would shock you with all the work put into this car 
I can believe the amount of work that goes into one, doing a full pan-off resto to the Karmann... I thought it would take a couple of months when I started

it'll be two years in May but I'm trying to get it at least rolling by then...
Got a pic of the engine bay? What setup are you running? I'm currently thinking of a 2L, and being foolish I've already bought some DRLAs...
