Dave Butler New Project for the street
Being that I will need some transport soon, I have aquired this 1500 Beetle.
It has had a very hard life but is loaded with goodies, so I used the excuse of needing wheels for my drag car , to buy it.
It has some nasty things that need to be rectified though.

First things to go will be those widened 'glass guards and add some bumpers.
Engine is a 1915 with 45 dellortos, and tranny is a freshly rebuilt Leon's Motors swingaxle.
It has an adjustable front beam with SAW leaves and sway bar,
and SAW adjustable spring plates and camber compensator in the rear.
Also KYB gas shocks and type three brakes.

I didn't crush those lights, but will give them away.
Problem is, two different people have asked for them,
one in the forum and one in U2U...whats the etiquete here?
For now the engine and tranny will remain as is, but have plans to upgrade the tranny
and sell this one so that my Pauter engine can be slotted in for a back-up car in case I need a rego'd car at the drags...hmmmm!!

Dave, generally first in best dressed so in my opinion (no specific forum rules on this exact situation) - probably whoever contacted you first
(whether it be U2U or via post in the thread).
Give me a yell if you ever want a respray on this beast - would be happy to help - although there is nothing wrong with the "Rat-look" of course! :P

Great to see a little car being rescued again. Just a thought, the last drag racer on this forum who bought a beetle to go round corners in, not
mention any names (Rod Penrose), wrote the poor thing off during it's first test drive. So take it easy Dave, we like you and the car, the shape you
are.

No I won't be fitting a spool, and driving fast on the street.
Thanks for the offer Alan will keep you posted.
Looks like you own these indicators Empi...
I have a rat problem at my house and dont want any more
This is transport and I will limit street driving with the low power type engine
that it has now...driving fast on the street is for fools, if I have power I will be a fool!
