Here's my 65 Beetle I've decided to start tinkering with.
I've just upgraded the engine from a 1200 to a ????????. which was fun, I forgot how much fun it can be clearancing the bell housing. Chucked a set of Kads on, re jetted for ?? The old girl also had the remainder of her electrics turned to 12v. Extractors and J tubes, with a stinger for a short time. But now with a hight flow HKS 2 1/2 inch exhaust, sounds cool and the ricer boys look twice when the see the old girl at the lights now.lol.
Also chucked on the Billet steering wheel and monster tacho just for fun. Don't know if the wheel will stay get?.
Other than that still waiting for the Karmann Ghia to sell, so as I can go nuts get the girl down the strip.
Also thanks to Rueb_revhead for his help. 2 guys with dodgey backs don't make for a fun time. Bloody VW's gotta lovem.

Loved hearing it with the stinger the other day! :thumb
Hope the new pedal assembly works ok.

Yeah, Reub I hope so too. It really sucks driving with half throttle.

Hey Pete,
Nice looking bug mate.
How are things going up north?
Lee.
some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs
Yep. Got a look all its own. Nice.
Wow, that is one clean looking Bug! Almost looks mean (especially that engine!), but it's still too cute... :P
love the bug mate!
Not a fan of the wheel but the car is sweet!
Nice
almost looks at home up there in the palms of Darwin 🙂
Just make sure you don't park it next to Rourke's Drift when the party season is on :o or down at Mindil beach (at all - I reckon the ferals would try to reclaim it as 'one of us man......') :P
'Ah, whatever................'

Sure does and the cars pretty dam quick too.
The Defence force in the NT area is about to do the same thing, just with a little more grunt and $$$ behind it.

Yeah I know, the MVR up here are reall pricks as it is. I only passed the hight bars by 2mm and that was with the tyre pressure way up and shims to help.
The plan is to be on the ground with the drag car.
Looks damn awesome
Let me out, When I call my name
IGOR is ALIVE !!!! 😎
