its a 76 with a 200 HP and automatic brakes.. its the NO RADIO edition.. hell i dont know what im talking about.. i know how to drive.. drive fast and hope to remember to put the gas cap back on ;)
And the engine...sorry for the size of the pictures, for some reason it isnt letting me edit the size;[http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...e/VW/vw024.jpg
That will be bad-ass. No bonnet, a 914 engine with dual webers. That shit will tear it up!
It looks pretty clean, too! How much?
914 nah Lets thow a 502 in that fucker hahah. Take out the back seats weld ina fire wall right behind the front seats. Drop in the 502 install some wheely bars and your good to go!
And a close up of the carb and air filter...

That rules! What are you going to do to it.
Itldvl 502 idea sounds interesting.
I used to have a '68, bus. I loved that thing.
So what year? You waiting for more guesses?
Guessing it's a 69. I had the VW fastback in gold, looked like a clowncar.
Very slick by the way :thumb:
I want to rod it out, but havent decided how to quite yet. Itldvl and I know each other quite well, I dated him briefly, and now hes my best friend;p So Im sure Ill go along with what he wants to do as well, since he'll be helping me with it, hehe.Quote:

You can do so much with one of those little cars...Engine rebuilds cost around $100 to completly rebuild.....The are very easy to find parts for...And all in all I think they look cool when finished...
some cool lookin bugs

And if you want to get serious about it look for VW club meetings and car shows go to them and usually VW owners are willing to help with anything you have probs with.,....also good place for swapmeets...
This is a good site too.
will the end result be like one of these?

Now that I think about it, didn't Fossie the bear drive a Fastback in the muppet movie?Quote:

The tail-lights are the way to tell.
The big round ones were on the last beetles.
The "Super-beetles" , etc...
The ones in the late 60's had smaller tail-lights...
My first car was a 62 bug. I made it into a baja bug, because it was so rusty.
It was a mess.
But yes, parts are really cheap, they are cheap on gas, and they can look pretty cool.
Not very fast though...
I saw this one at a car show once, its called Herbie on Streoids...here I found a pic showing the specs on the sign:

I saw one with a 454 in the back of the car as well...

I like that one..it looks oddly natural.
Side note: I recognize the background...mainly cause I live in that city. haha.
Congrats Jax...I look forward to the results! Remember to add some sort of flame thrower.
All cars need a flame thrower. Least that's what I think.
now we can hot rod vw's at the same time!
Awww how cute... heheheQuote:

=)
as much as i love throwers....putting them on any car is stressfull on valves and can shorten engine life by up to half(i'm not shitting you)...
back in the ol'days only the Kustoms did it because they were all about cruising around the malts and shit...
and they shot flames by getting it rolling pretty good in gear then shutting it down and starting it again...it causes a backfire that woulf explode any mufflers/cats(this only works on straightpipes) and shot flames...
Hotrodders hated it,and it was done By the Kustom guys being assholes to be assholes....
sorry for the history lesson,haha...
but yea putting throwers on a VW is a really bad idea,as if it doesn't hurt your engine enough on a normal car,it really hurts VW's...
if your gonna do it,you really shouls look into a seperate injection system,which would be a whole fuck of a lto less damage ,but it would also let you shoot some fuckign MASSIVE flames....
Unfortuneately this car is not gonna happen. Im moving to chicago in a week and a half, and the last thing I need is a damn 2nd non running car;p
