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.

A cuddle might be nice.... Ha ha! I don't give a shit just stirring! N/a seems so much easier at this stage but I can't afford to make 200+ hp na... Boosted really shouldn't be a problem though.

I'll remember the cuddle offer in Sydney mate! I'll bring some matching purple dressing gowns so we look the part too! 😂

Well Turbo has gone to a new home so it's all about NA now. Currently in the process of assembling a 2276 motor for Jambo and Warwick.

Have also had tranny upgraded (thanks DB) to include a spool, new diff ratio and a couple of gear ratios. Have also purchased some Holborm mechanical injection and will fit this and make some upgrades for methenol after Warwick.
