Beetle upgrade " Now with pics".
Here's my 65 Beetle I've decided to start tinkering with.
I've just upgraded the engine from a 1200 to a ????????. which was fun, I forgot how much fun it can be clearancing the bell housing. Chucked a set
of Kads on, re jetted for ?? The old girl also had the remainder of her electrics turned to 12v. Extractors and J tubes, with a stinger for a short
time. But now with a hight flow HKS 2 1/2 inch exhaust, sounds cool and the ricer boys look twice when the see the old girl at the lights now.lol.
Also chucked on the Billet steering wheel and monster tacho just for fun. Don't know if the wheel will stay get?.
Other than that still waiting for the Karmann Ghia to sell, so as I can go nuts get the girl down the strip.
Also thanks to Rueb_revhead for his help. 2 guys with dodgey backs don't make for a fun time. Bloody VW's gotta lovem.

Nice
almost looks at home up there in the palms of Darwin 
Just make sure you don't park it next to Rourke's Drift when the party season is on :o or down at Mindil beach (at all - I reckon the ferals would
try to reclaim it as 'one of us man......') :P

Sure does and the cars pretty dam quick too.
The Defence force in the NT area is about to do the same thing, just with a little more grunt and $$$ behind it.

Yeah I know, the MVR up here are reall pricks as it is. I only passed the hight bars by 2mm and that was with the tyre pressure way up and shims to
help.
The plan is to be on the ground with the drag car.
