Hope to get it registered before Christmas.
My 'spare' 356 engine now has a new home, so it should get along nicely.....has 356 brakes to match.

No track work for this one.

Side panels are VW...New Beetle 'HARVEST MOON".

Stunning Greg , and some nice upgrades too .
Is that a tacho in the dash centre , and if so is it a VDO unit that matches the speedo or something else
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

It's a VDO tacho, ex. 356. It does match something else.....the 356 engine and brakes.

Now registered.....time to clock up some miles.
I forgot how much fun a stock-suspension, swing-axle Beetle was....especially with the 356 engine.

Thanks Gary. I wondered how I came to have all those bits.
Remember when I managed to get hold of a Cabriolet semaphore [very rare], and the bitch at US customs made me pull all my parts apart, and tested them
for explosives.
Good trip, that......and a lot of fun to boot.
