Re: And so it begins again
Damn and i was going to keep them hehehhehe
1. Make sure shes reliable and all mechanically sound Brakes / suspension electrics
2. Drop Rear to match front -2inch
3. Twin Carbs & Perf xhaust - maybe 1649??? sleeves and little head upgrade depending on motor condition , if its shot then tear down then decision 1649 vs 1776 vs 1835 but am only doing displacement and balancing not all the other junk i threw into my 1776 its too expensive and not worth it .
4. Complete paint and interior - options are as follow :
4.1 pre 67 front and rear bits - just love that look
4.2 keep stock with more modern front bumper with intergrated indicator - also like the look and feel of sp style vw Black bumpers , mirror , beadings headlight rims & spots - could add the Fun bug style black swish round the car.
5. ONLY CONFIRMED THING - keep rostyle rims
Your thoughts ?

Re: And so it begins again
Sounds good. Fresh paint, clean up the chrome bits and interior. Perfect!

Re: And so it begins again
Was a dog was sold as good working order went to pick her up and only thing good was new wide 5 brake conversion, didn't make it to highway never mind home to the Vale. Pity cos they really spent a lot on it , but too bad . Also landed an awesome ghia in that week, so happiness plus ten !! She's driving , rust free with all her trim , original spec 66 with ball joints and drums , even has all dash trim and original radio! What a win
