I'm currently living in Indonesia and the VW scene is pretty big here - mainly circuit racing and club events. I was invited to a warehouse, to look at couples cars. I didn't like the cars they showed me, but away in the far corner, covered in dust and rubbish - there was it - a 1961 being purposely built for drag racing. This beetle has been sitting there for the last 6 years. No rust.

Chopped top, laid back front windscreen, rear split window, full fibre glass front and rear, full roll cage - with a wild paint job. No engine, which is cool with me. Coz I plan to put a 13.BT in it when I get it home.

Cost of vehicle was $550.00

bagus sekali!

Hey Layback.

Where are you based in indo? I am coming over work in June/July for a 4 weeks with the aim of moving over to Jakarta for a few years if I like it. I would have thought the VW scene would have been pretty small? whats the who motorsport (track or rally) scene like over there?

Cheers

The 3.L turbo efi is a good set up.But I like 13,b turbos back up with t3 auto......But what Colour???

Pink I mean magenta LOL

Looks good, where will it be in OZ when it comes over?

VW Warwick is only a few months away....

dont touch the paint its awesome the way it is!

Pink, purple, and yellow are my daughter's fave colours. Magenta looks like a great pink or light cranberry, my favourite colour is the turquoise/aqua blue however I do like the graphics - I definitely like the late 90s American style drag racing colour scheme. I come from Canberra.

that is one cool bug mate
what a buy for 550 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just great stuff
13bt is the cheapest power option around

Bloody awesome score, any more like that hiding away over there ?
