Stanley's car....1 1/4" Tranny raise 28Jun14

Thought this might be better here than in members rides. Since the decommissioning of my white '70 beetle that I used to drive/race with the turbo, this is what now has all my attention. Although I’m not going to post it as a build up, it's passed the point of no return so I’ll just post the odd progress pic. It's nothing that hasn't been done before. It's a '60 Aussie built beetle and plans are to make it for the track only and as such has had all non essential stuff removed including all the window mechanisms and side glass which is now lexan. It will still be built under the TAT scope but I will spend money where it is needed particularly in making it safe. I have so far replaced the MC all the wheel cylinders, new brake shoes all drums machined amd all new wheel bearings. New g'box is in progress with Dangerous Dave and I will mount the old 100 ci turbo to it. Colour scheme at this stage will be satin black with silver flashes to match the aluminium panels at this stage. This what it started as a couple of months ago. May look familiar to some. I think I may have posted some pics earlier. Stripped and ready for the games to begin. Upgraded to a duel circuit MC. Have run a new line from front to rear. Front g'box mount was broken so decided after some advice, to fab an intermediate mount. Thanks Dave. Also now has a removeable apron and have done away with the wings between firewall and inner guard. Couple of pics of the new dash. Inside is plain and simple in satin black and aluminium rear panels and door cards. These are the wheels I recently purcahesed. May also look familiar to some.

Well pretty much all done. Just some tidying up like moving the AF meter so it reaches. Also need a stinger. I hope to have a decent breather by Jambo aswell. The one I had won't fit due to the webers. First time car has had a decklid too. As for HP and times we'll have to wait and see.

After warwick Barry, Waiting on some parts from rodney to get this NA movin first... Problem is the turbo header we have is for a stroker motor so we will need to modify it to fit my 1916, got more gauges and sensors and the likes..... Bit of mucking around, more money that i dont have to spend on the drag car at the moment...

Just back from TnT where I got 5 runs on a pretty quiet night

1st...21.14 @ 69.5...lazy run making sure AF was good
2nd...14.94 @ 88.2
3rd...13.76 @ 93.3
4th...14 something after missing shift and losing time slip
5th...13.83 @ 91.5

Car ran well but need to launch harder. Still driving it like the Turbo of the line.
