Cheers....

The Beetle needed 64 hours of welding to make it solid (that was just the body shell!) unfortunately, my suggestion of binning it and starting with a fresh shell fell on deaf ears (it was her first car.... :rolleye: )

It'll be a mild custom when it's finished, with a motorsport theme more than likely... it'll stay blue and have something pokey under the decklid!

The bus is a 1965 21 Window Sliding Door Samba....

The motor is based on a VW 'Type 4' Air-cooled Flat Four, it's 2366cc with Twin 44IDF Webers, bigger valve heads, a bit of a cam, full flow custom exhaust, Kennedy Stage 2 clutch with a beefed up Beetle IRS gearbox which made 100 whp on the Dyno with 113 Lb-ft of torque, combined with the line-lock makes for burnout fun! (the last pair of rears did 1500 miles!  :surprised: :confused: )

Best time on the quarter was 16.36 at Bug Jam last year...

It's currently taking a well earned break from active duty, while we try and work out ways of making it quicker  :jumping:  :happy2:
