Found another one in my brothers back yard, we are going to go halves in the rat project.
His body, 56 standard in unrestored condition. It has had a few bumps and scrapes but is in quite good condition all we did was give it a good clean and a clear coat. The pan came from my 63 with a narrowed disc brake front end, 1300 std gear box with solid mounts. The engine will come out of my 64 (ran at warwick 10.21) this will be the thrash at the track car as I don’t want to gut my beetle every time. We are going to have a run sometime before Christmas so if anyone is heading out to willobank please post a note on the site. I will throw up a couple of pics when it finished.

and a couple more pics

nice rat, plenty of character. Look forward to seeing it finished.

What pan are you then going to put in your 63???

What is the engine setup going to be??? Iv not seen it ...

Didn't take long for you to come and grab the oval, shouldn't have left the gate open!

The 63 is going to be sitting on a rack for a while. It was painted Black a couple of years ago and it had some issues with moisture.... ( so it will wait for a repaint). My brother will evenually restore the car but with twns on the way it will be some time away. If we have it together for a couple of years and get sme trips down the track it will be fun.
The engine I ran at warwick, its 1776 std heads with 1:1.25, engle 110 cam, counter weighted crank, lightened flywheel, twin 40 dellorto's, Mallory dist and coil with 1 5/8 merged header.

I would have sqeezed it through half open.....

Suppose, it will be the same old story, if it's been at your place longer than a day, it's yours, right! Remember, there's a new 36 horse at M&D's we could drop in it.

Love it Jason!!
You just can't go wrong with that wheel and stance combo on an early bug

Noice!

Wicked!

That looks nuts

That looks real nice. Some sweet Pat and Tina on it!
So will we be seeing it driving around the GC or will it be trailers only.

Trailer only..... it has a some rust that wouldn't pass roadworthy, but it is safe to use. What's the Pat and Tina? ( never heard of it)

Thats a same its only gona be trailered.
I was just being a smart ass i ment patina.
How did you go at warrwick. Saw your pick in vwma!
(By they its Richard from the Printers wasn't sure if you new)

I know who it is... I though it was you anyway, did you get the frame head for you front end conversion? ( my brother told me what patina is.. never heard of it.. duh)

Hey Telf, throw up some pic's of your car, It looks unreal low with thoes wheels!!!!!

Cool Frosty. Bout time you guy's got serious.....Looking good.

I thought you might have know who it was!!
Still got to organise the frame head but it will happen at some point, I have the beam so im half way there!!
Ill try and get a couple of picks up, really need to take some new 1ns!

Found some!!
Will look nice with a narrower and slightly lower front end!!!

yeh, perfect. Narrowed or not it looks great.

Nice find, gotta love an oval

engine is going in tonight

COOL

You could have done a lot worse. Looks in surprisingly good condition. Best of luck with it.

is it going yet?
Give us a shout when it is. It would be good t check it out!

yeh Frosty....what's happening......

OK, I cant fit the merged exhaust.... and i don't want to cut the rear valance. ( remember the body isn't mine) Fuel pump, ignition switch, door windows and catches and it's ready to go. I want to got TNT 2nd week in December. I think that it should be done this weekend ( The inlaws are coming to stay and its time to hide in the shed)

Hey Frosty, I reckon you're full of it. Maybe you should spend less time out in the shed and more time with your lovely wife and children.

Oh shit the misses has infiltrated the site, go away and do some cleaning.
