Does anybody still have contact with a bloke who was converting one to electric? From memory his handle was "Kiwiev" or something similar.He has gone off the radar.

Probably a flat battery...

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Can you imagine the refueling on a club run?

I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!😂

Few months ago I contacted the bloke in LA. They convert Kombis and Beetles and some 356 at a whopping cost of US$45k plus the cost of the car!!!
