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.

it looks straight mines a 1302s which ive been rebuilding slowly

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
