Is the fuel tank at the front operational or ornamental. Surely that must pose some roadworthy issues having a fuel cell being the first place for
impact on a head on collision???? It looks awesome though.

Hmmmm bourbon, need to run a straw up to the dash  Not that I support drink driving of course....... I dig the tank at the
front like the old rods had. Just hate to be in a head on, could be interesting! Looks like a cool ride though, will love to hear how you go with
passing rego. Hope to see it out and about!

need some parts.....
backing plates for drums, mine have holes drilled in them for guard mounts and im going to change the way they mount
stock, or even modded exhaust, mine is wayy to loud for rego....just something legal
maybe some stock front seats,,may just get mine covered..have not decided
stock Spring Plates..or if u know where i can get some dropped certified/ engineered ones, mine are welded up and wont pass as are now...
has anyone actually got a beam extension passed by engineer? if so who, and who made it, mine as i have no certification from guy that made it wont
pass as is..
need some other stuff.....but for now thats the first stuff on list...ive decided to keep it as to be honest it rocks, and when i get everything done/
passed which i have been told i can i wont know of any others in Vic that are legal on the road....

and it begins.......u can see on right side a massive wheel spacer..yer thats illegal...and heavy as shit...so im off to Ajax wheels who have done
lots of work for me and friends over the years to get my off set on my rims redone to get the wheels as far out as possible (and legal)......the
spacers are so heavy..if i was to go down that road id be getting some machined up..

ok..new plugs, dizzy cap, rotor button and carbi clean..and she is already running better...i think the plugs had been in it for a lonnng time..one
was totally different....lol....plug leads are next as i suspect they have been on it for a long time too....i need to read up on how to tune this
carbi also...tightened up a bunch of things too....the car has spent some time in a shed..driven very rarely and to be honest not looked after....so
as much as i wanted it all done, i am happy as ill need to go over everything and check its right..and being my first vw ill understand how they go
together which is good....

Neat looking ride ran5. It's amazing how the humle beetle can be tranformed into such a monster. Probably the reason I love these little beasts more
than any other.
