What would it be?
Okay.... I was thinking. If you had the funds of someone like Jay Leno, Billy Gibons, Fieldy, Kirk Hammet, etc, etc... Who own multiple wild custom
cars and bikes each. Which VW would you buy and how would you do it up.
Maximum of two and describe it in as best detail as you can.

my two...
A '52 beetle with Crotch coolers.
Some would say a 3 fold rag, but I'm not fussed. As long as I have a real one with proper numbers.
I'd start with the 'pan. Change the bulkhead, run a balljoint beam with off-road/drag racing drilled alloy trailing arms mated to forged
alloy lightweight spindles. Vented and cross drilled rotors on full floating hubs (I hear Remmelle is making spindles and hubs to take new Porsche GT2
carbon ceramic items).
Run all new Wilwood alloy hydraulic pedals, again taken across from off-road.
Stainless braided lines, etc...
Dunno whether I'd stay with leaf springs or go with those new coilover kits.
Moving to the back. I'd change it to IRS, and run 968 alloy rear suspension gear.
A Hewland 6 speed, like some German sport sedan beetles are using atm, or a G60. Mated to a fully worked turbo oxyboxer. Running forged billet
stroker, titanium carrilo rods and Nikies. On top - 993 twin plug cylinder heads running hollow titanium cams and pneumatic valves. Carbon fibre
injection or twin turbos.
I think I'd keep all the bolt on panels steel, even tho you can buy carbon fibre items nowadays. It would be black with all the original trim,
etc in place. Inside I'd put a body hugging Chrome Moly cage (a'la RUF 996 option). Trim it in wool and original cloth style. Some BMW 330
ci seats, re-trimmed in the original cloth and inertia Boeing 777 4 point harness' (a'la Troy Trepanier built '62 Biscayne)
10,000RPM tach in one pod and 320KPH speedo in the other. Both analog, white on black and marked in Gothic text.
Warning guages running along the drivers side of the 'pan tunnel towards the firewall facing up, in the same guise as speedo and tach'.
The overall theme would be simple, soft looks and hard underpinnings. Not sure on the wheels. Would love soem magnesium items, but don't know any
that take my fancy. So I was thinking of Flat4 17" BRM's. But get them to leave the wheel stud holes blank and drill them for wide 5 (and
run adapters off the disks) they seem to have enough meat to take the original bolt pattern.
As for the other car. It would be whatever Samantha chooses, which we've already got planned. But its a secret :P
So I'd have to go a single cab' or a hearse, 1st choice would be the hearse. Splitty ofcourse, pref' a barndoor. DUMPED on 22'
Billets. Two tone, black (top) and silver or a deep soft cream (bottom) nice clean interior with sat nav' and all the bells and whistles. Again a
chrome-moly cage. 4 wheel disks, but alot less trick and more bullet proof in the suspension dept. A TypeIV around 3.0lt with a roots blower
A fully functional vehicle for parts hauling :thumb:thumb
What about the rest of you guys?

Unlimited funds would definitely require me and the missus to go around oz in an anti clockwise direction as slowly as possible in the following :
Stock looking 67 wesfalia van, Panama beige ( not too cherry as its going to be chipped by rocks, animals, insects etc) motored along by a mild 1776cc
dualport with a low comp. rating to handle the dodgy fuel. Indian IRS rear with a pro street freeway flyer box to soak up those long straight roads .
If we ever get back i would then fill my garage with a 1958 356A sunroof , painted matt pastel green (L11) with fire engine red scallops for that
outlaw look, fire engine red steelies with whitewalls, no hub caps to show off the forged aluminum drums. lower the bejesus out of it and then shag
it :P

Holy crap, this is a hard one...so many models....so many ideas...
Hebmuller, all chestnut brown (no two tone), 2in narrowed beam, 18in American Racing Torque Thrust IIs (7in front, 9in rear), close ratio rancho
trans, 2332 turbo fed monster....etc (don't worry purists, it'll never happen unfortunately.
Second, well it would have to be something the dog could ride in too, so perhaps a german/french look single cab split. 18in porsche hollow spoke
turbo twists, healthy 2270 type IV, cruising ratio trans, bright red, graphics down the centre....something different perhaps :bounce

75 Westfalia Camper, reskinned roof with skylights fitted, and electric slide/tilt sunroof. Front wheelarches lengthened and beam moved forward to
allow fitment of 20" alloys, with big discs and airbags all round. Side windows converted to splitty popouts - 3 down each side, rear section
solid.
Double LH front bench with driver's bucket. Twin Westfalia full-width bed seats in the back, facing each other so they can pull out to form a
queen-size bed. Total of 9 seats. Storage for camping gear over the engine bay (ie. kitchen accessed from tailgate. Clothes etc. accessed from
inside)
3.0 Pauter type IV, engine, counter weighted, ceramic coated, balanced, etc. Centrifugal supercharger, Haltech programmable sequential injection with
timing advance control and water injection to keep the heat down. ie. Something that is still air-cooled but uses modern technology to flog the pants
off my mates who drive things like a 350 HZ coupe, 460 XT ute, XR8 ute, Mits Lancer, etc. If I can keep up, I'll be happy. :thumb
And the fun part: remote central locking/alarm (already done), electric windows, cruise control, electric mirrors, docking station for laptop in
glovebox, full-width under-dash parcel tray, full-width overhead console at front with motorised LCD screen for rear vision camera and Sat-nav system.
Full width console at 'B' pillar containing air-con and 2nd LCD screen for watching movies in bed, X-Box, etc. In-dash head unit with remote
control, MP3 cd player, and stacker controller (DVD stacker and X-box under centre front seat). Modest speaker arrangement to save space.
Just to upset the wankers in Chapel St: neons behind the brakes and along the sills, Kit (Knight Rider) style scanner built into the front vent, and
mulitcoloured fluoro lighting inside, and maybe a larva lamp if I can find room! :o
My 2nd vehicle would have to be an offroad kombi, probably a twin-cab. 35" tyres, mid-mounted 5.7 litre alloy-block Chev V8 running through
6-speed auto trans, long-travel airbag suspension, front and rear winches, yada yada yada...
