DUB of your dreams
DUB of my dreams is a country buggy built and driven to a win in both the finke and the aus safari - and then in a team for a tilt at the dakar... haha
factory toyota, mitsu and VW... suck OZ balls.....
sorry dreaming again.... haha
:thumb
Volksrod style Beetle with rear split window installed, chopped and dropped. Dash smoothed to only have speedo.
Engine to have blue flames out the exhaust when gassed, both rear wheels light up in one second.
Already have a kombi... and some fastys, so maybe i'd get a 911 baja.
or a manx like this
that buggy rocks! love the canopy

For me in sunny, stinking hot Qld summers, is aircon in my Bay Window. Have bought all the bits. Just waiting for them to arrive and then I'll start to play. My children and wife will be eternally grateful for changing the sauna on wheels into something civilized.

Non of the engine in so far. Just an empty interior and engine bay. they will be up when i get some decent pics.
i saw a 911 turbo the other day, on the deck with the fat brakes underneath it.
it wasn't hard to imagine a 60s beetle with the same treatment. i'd chop the roof, install a set of recaros, put in the 911 dialls and that would be about it aesthetically.
early 60s beetle for sale - ex bush basher - spares - $100 or offers
The bug I am building now, 66deluxe lowered IRS pan Narrowed front beam dropped spindles 944T brembo disc brakes on all corners whiteline adjustable swaybars adjustable konies, boxster wheels 914 tacho in original speedo position, 914 speedo, scat dragfast shifter, vw wooden sports steering wheel, 2.3 type 4 engine using 78.4mm DPR stroker crank, type 1 journal rods, 96mm pistons and cylinders, will go to 103mm bore later, 44x38mm valve heads, Fuel injection with twin throttle bodies, 911 cooling system, hydralic clutch on single side plate gearbox, but don't know what colour to paint it.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

yellow!
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
i m almost finished building mine, but if i had infinite time and money, i would drop the body onto a late 80s 911 to get the best of both worlds.
running gear, brakes, a/c etc but with all the hard work thats gone into my bug.
sleeper too
...................( O \ l / O ).....................
give me a couple of days and my dream car will be on the way!
steves rhdbdddpanel, or his rhddlxbd , or his original 27,000 mile single cab , but almost happy with what i got just a few things to do like fit a 4 inch narrowed front end with wide 5 discs from csp , change the straight axle to irs , fit some early wide 5 beetle rims 4.5 wide fronts with 175/55/15 tyres and rears with stock 165 r15s or maybe some 175/70/15 tyres .
if i couldnt have any of that i would love to own dave beckers 66 camper.
gravity wont get you high
Mine is a 62 ragtop bug running erco's and a 2276 stroker motor with 48 IDA's
or one of the pro stock drag bugs from the U.S.
or Alan Fore's prostock notchback drag car which he just put on the market to sell :cussing

good call jak, im borrowing some inspiration for my car from yours, and a few others on this forum, just dying to get mine started and finished, sigh i want the unlimited money, hey wait, you've had the unlimited money for 14 years! wanna share some? lol
Your car is never finished, I have a wish list for it still, but it is very close. I did everything on my car but paint it & even then I used the barter system to get it done. U could easily build my car again for 10grand.

Got a 73 bus, stock as a rock.
It's battle scared & seen better days (a lot like it's owner).
I've driven 900 kms on three cylinders & 100 kms without top gear.
BUT, it's failed to get me home ONCE in 13 years.
What more can you ask??
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.
I know beetles are soooo derivative, but anyway. Here goes. Early 60s, with a very big motor with forced induction of some kind, maybe Subie but maybe aircooled. Air con and a nice stereo. Classic lines but big scary power for wasting idiots in clubsports. :thumb
An early Notch
big brakes
big-ish wheels and tyres
all the good stuff to make it handle
and a Subaru H6 6 cylinder mated to a Porsche 5 speed
