Seagulls 1960 bug called DRAGON
Well My Dragon has come out of its cave and seen the light of day .
I have landed a 1960 beetle from the Tompson boys .
The beetle was saved from the crusher a few years back and placed in a shed to keep it dry .
The run down >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
some of the parts are missing ( see wanted in the for sale section here )
The in side of the bug has been striped out , head lining , door cards , floor mats >rat shit > dead snake > used condoms & there packets
The floor has the the orginal paint on it & is mostly rust free .Some rust in the heater chanels but I get to this when I left the body off the pan
.Paint is shitty but over all the car is solid & doors shut as they did when the car came off the assembly line .
What I am doing to it
Fist throw the 1300 cc Vw motor & swing axle away its too slow
The new Motor will be a Suabru EJ20 quad cam turbo 16 valve unit coming in from Japan from a wrx or STI wrx .
I am making a full 316 ss headers for it to drop some weight from the rear & make it look realy smart under there
I have yet been able to work out the gear box I am going with & have a few to select here from .
I going to fit air bags to this machine so I can get it low on the road , then push the butten to lift it to bring in down my drive way to put it to
bed .
I have collected the following to make this machine stop
Front Nissan r32 ? 4 pot calipers
rear ford ea /eb with cross drilled rotors
Wheels I have not had a chance to look whats out there .
The inside of the bug will be back to stock , seats will be stock , but I will make the drives seat be able to tale me race seat for drag meets
seagull
To date we have about 9 guys & girls in Perth doing conversions to Subaru so keep your eyes out .There is going to be some very fast vws out there
soon

When you widen the track you will have problems with tyre clearnace in the rear.... Please don't stick crappy f/g guards on the 60, Neil.... It just
looks so crappy.... Stick with the stock guards and make the stuff fit.... You know I can get 225/50-17's under a stock rear guard with IRS....
That's plenty of tyre for most.... And more than enough for a light weight VW!....

There is a bit of rust mate .I cut the heater ( whole driver side side out of the 66 )
I can cut & weld some plates in .
I also just went for a walk down the road ( bin ) as there was a 316 ss pressure tank , it said SPERM TEST TANK LCVRTY 1 .
LOL its now the tank for the air bags ! just washed it out no one will know :party
