Nice collection Ian and Rose 👍

Hey Ian,
I assume your exhaust set up is either stainless or ceramic coat.
Does the exhaust wrap you have on there cause any rusting underneath as it is exposed to the elements?

I think its ok if its coated.
I think if its just steel pipe, it would get rusty under heat wrap

I dont want to be doing this, I like to keep all the wheels on the track.😂

Well we have had the 1952 bug for over a year now and his going fine.
We have had to do a little maintenance , the turbo seal, fuel pump started playing up and fitted some new king pin bushes .
I am still running in the 13s with the Boost set at 10psi. best speed 115mph/185Ks
My LHD driving is improving we each pass. I have my launches sorted .

sent some pics to Hot VW S .
