BUGZILLA VW FULL

Then I decided I needed 2 more project cars. He has been quite the handful for the past year and a half or so.

Havent driven it in over a year now for multiple reasons. Posted: Thu 3:10 pm Post subject: Re: 1970 Mid Engine Bug (Bugzilla) I’d like this thing to still look stock when done. it’s 10” narrower than the donor cavalier so that’s a concern. Did you need to cut down the cv shafts? My current fitment issue is getting it to fit within the body. The car only weighs 900 lbs so it should be enough fun n/a for now. I have a stock rebuilt 2.0 and it’ll likely be an automatic as it’s just going to be a drag car. This is great! I’m doing the same thing (kinda) with an old zenn ev.

Since we have lifts AND because we need it serviceable because of the inevitable abuse breakdowns, we’ll do the subframe like you were talking about with the other member. Your cage work is neat to look at and work from.

I grabbed a full cage kit for the inevitable sub 9-second run. The block and head is at Golden Eagle getting sleeved, new pistons, rods, bearings, springs, retainers.and all the machine work to go along with the medium frame turbo sitting in a box. The shop I’m working with is a Honda shop, so we’re transplanting a K24 (2.4L) into it with a Honda tranny. I bought a 74 roller and have disassembled it to the point of just prior to body removal. Fortunately I have the support of a shop.as my skill set isn’t as wide as yours. Well.I’m right there with you on “Frankensteining” a VW Beetle. Thank you for your inspiration! I read your comment about posting on other site because of the purity factor here. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for on this site.

Posted: Mon 6:26 pm Post subject: Re: 1970 Mid Engine Bug (Bugzilla) Now I just have to put in a new heater core, redo the headliner, add a nice sound system, paint it and then possibly back to working on the Bug. The one I am restoring is going to become my new DD in a few months so I got some work to do! Already built and installed a new engine, overhauled the entire front suspension, shocks, brakes, tires, redid the entire cooling system and a whole heck of a lot more stuff. I am restoring one of them and I use the other as my off road machine. Instead, I have been working on my Jeeps. Its getting hot out so its not like I am going to be driving it anyways. Other then that, the Bug has been put on hold yet again. Everything, and I mean everything, was off, front and rear. It is now perfectly centered at ride height. I got my one main thing done and that was fixing the heim angle on the spindle for my steering arms. I didnt actually get everything done that I was hoping. Well I got more done on it but nothing really picture worth since everything still looks about the same.
