Your car looks superb mate - what bolt pattern are you running on your wheels? The aero guards suit it really well.

Just wondering mate, is this the L Bug that was featured in the Volkswagen Magazine a fair few years ago?
-Staggers.

Very nice indeed-Aero's and early headlights-just the best look.

Must...have...those...wheels. They look like empi 8's but the rear offset is different (or they are much wider) than the front. This is EXACTLY what I need for the rears of my kit car.

How big are they and where do I get them?

look like chrome 8s on like 8jj or something?

The guards are Widened Aero Fibreglass Ones....

so those wheels/ tyres are probably much wider than they look....

Your 1303S really looks cool with the sloped headlamps..

Very Nice...

Any idea of who/where to order the wheels from?

All I get searching for interceptor wheels mags etc. is Jensens and Commodores.

Thanks,

Mick.

yeah, I like that car! Seen it up around Nth Shore a coupla times. Nice.

alansvw - June 27th, 2006 at 12:48 AM

Most of the questions about my car have been answered by some clever people out there. Yeah it lives on the North Shore and is a serious daily driver.. did over 20,000ks last year. The wheels are Interceptor 15x8 & 7 I got them out from the USA from one of the companies that advertise mail order in Hot Vw's The engine is 2276cc with 44's, Fk8 cam and heaps of head work. Just bought a set of 48's for its big brother engine I have sitting waiting for the price of fuel to drop (as if) I'll post some pics of the dash which was two dashes joined , then the final product re skinned.. everyone thinks it is a factory dash.

Bizarre - June 27th, 2006 at 08:58 AM

Who did that dash for you??

Have heard about a dash that was made up like that a while ago

LOT of work!
