MY 1974 "Sleeper"
Craig Torrens - September 16th, 2009 at 08:50 PM

I've had this one for a while now, Its a 1974 swinger. It has a 1300 twinport BUT not for much longer :lol:

I want this car as a "sleeper" :cool:.....to take out every now and then for some night time fun !

spdterence - September 16th, 2009 at 08:55 PM

So 1916 on roids, close ratios and fluffy dice. Should be entertaining.:crazy:

Craig Torrens - September 16th, 2009 at 08:55 PM

slightly lowered :cool:............it just needs a sun visor for the "granny" look

Craig Torrens - September 16th, 2009 at 08:56 PM

So will one of your cars make it to Warwick this year??

Craig Torrens - September 17th, 2009 at 11:14 PM

No.

LIFE IN THE LOW LANE - September 18th, 2009 at 06:31 PM

What a waste to have all that machinery sitting in a shed doing nothing in a few weeks time........

I guess you will just have to read all about it mate!!

:fakesniff::fakesniff::fakesniff:

C'mon Craig, bring something out to Warwick. I want to see your steroid motor on the drag strip

Craig Torrens - September 18th, 2009 at 07:01 PM

I'm sure it will be a great event, but just too far to drive for a short drag.....hopefully I will be running a vw at WSID within a month :)

Craig Torrens - December 23rd, 2009 at 02:06 PM

Well the beast got registered today........another beetle to hit the streets :tu:

colonel mustard - December 23rd, 2009 at 02:14 PM
