HYPO-VW turbo manx project

hypo-vw · 2005-07-26T14:55:31+00:00

well at WPVW , we are at it again !! this time we are building up a 1916cc quad throttle-body , turbo-charged , intercooled VW manx buggy for a very insane customer . The buggy is currently registered and will be street driven with the occasional trip to the strip . I will post regular updates so that you can see this monster develope and keep you informed of updates . I'm sure this project will attract some critisim as the turbo oval project did , but for all those who are genuinely interested , THIS IS FOR YOU !!! this is not just an engine build , but a full resto and performance set-up . front view of manx buggy

a section of the fibreglass on each side is cleaned and prepared so that we can fit speaker bowls . this will allow us to fit speakers to the inside panel at a later date , without the rear of the speakers getting damaged from the weather . this bowl also helps the speaker to perform better

Looking Great Wayne, especially because I have never seen one of these go together before. Keep it coming.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
