You get good reliable power and you keep the car true ACVW - It's pretty much just a bolt on conversion.

I think the dual trumpets are a nice touch as well.

So I've had a bit of time to start re assembling and I've hit my next snag.
The window winder mechanism which came with my Puma are rusted beyond recognition.
Are there any wise old wizards out there who know the origins of this part?

Reminds of the 56-63 beetle window regulator. There are differences, but could probably be modified to work.Image
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
