I went to the Scrap yard and bought a old Stainless Steal muffler and welded it onto the 4 into 1 and it sounds amazing

might be a little low to the ground but I don't exactly pan on doing an off road driving so its fine.

O and if your wondering I payed R12 for the muffler...

Sounds good

how your beetle looking? did you ever get your roof lining looking proper? I'm not very happy with how mine came out... but I will take it to a professional when the car is on the road

My beetle is finished< but the lining is not looking perfect, I will let someone do it when I have the money

Sorry but the project go put back on hold

I was given a crashed 69 that had been driven into a tree... so I put the 1300 motor into scrappy then changed chassis so all I have to do is get it through road worthy. It was a lot of extra work but well worth it and I still have lots of spares which is really cool. Iv also finished the work on another fender so Its just one left, but I have school tomorrow so I will try finish it over the weekend. will post pics when I'm done

Only one problem... Im in Stellies at the moment working for Barry and scrappy is in Grahamstown

Im going to hopefully get her road worthy and sort out the last few things when Im home next which will probably be in December, then bring it up here and redo a few things
