with the support & backing from Team WPVW , Cindy has decided to come drag racing with 'Billi' her 1965 model rat beetle
for those of you who dont know Cindy , she has been a team member of WPVW for the past 4 years . She raced at Warwick in 2009 in a blue 1973 L-bug powered by a 1776 type-1 engine and also in 2010 in a red 1960 Karmann Ghia powered by a 1776cc turbo type-1 engine
this year Cindy plans to run her much loved 'Billi' at Warwick with a new 2332ml turbo injected type-1 engine

Turb oand engine set up similar to mine, cool, good to see the pockets are deep at the wpvw camp. Not much time left to get it going. Another Turbo car on the way, sweet. What fuel are you gonna run it on?

Man, I want this motor. I love it, well done guys and good luck with it Cindy you lucky girl 😁
Wayne, since you got most of the gear from CB are you using one of their turbos. Also, do you know with the CB turbo exhaust system if it will bolt up with heater boxes or only J pipes.
Thanks and keep us updated, Kev 👍
I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!
Click here for my (slowy) modded 1961 Beetle build.After a lot of work billi's motor was finally started today. i will post video in the day or two. Now all that is needed is tuning then it will be ready for cindy to drive again. See pictures of Billi's new wheels - Santa was really good this year!!
