not really actually, the body was quite solid. there were dings and dents and so forth however, but those have all been taken care of.

2L Type 4. around here there are probably more buses than bugs, so it seems logical enough 😀...amazingly however that conversion is pretty much unheard of here.

after im comfortable with the T4...i'll then boost it 😀

either way, its 3:30am here, im off. thanks for the welcome people :thumb

-going to put in 2L T4

-going to put in discs (unsure of where to get a kit, my mechanic told me he'd "hook me up" with a USED set for the equivalent of $500 US!!, so i think im leaning towards So Cal Imports' kit)

-going to put in 73- on tailights

-currently trying to score some 914 gauges

-put in some seats from a toyota, but they're way too big (comfy as hell tho)...so im out to change those too.

-going to get bumper with turn signals

-going to get early style fiberglass fenders (maybe from VW innovations)

-trying to find padded dash to fit.

-got a custom console out of another car that i need to re-cover

-deal with suspension works. i plan to run the car in dexterity (Auto X)

all righty, thats all, i'll put the rest to come in another topic in the appropriate section
