Cheers....
The Beetle needed 64 hours of welding to make it solid (that was just the body shell!) unfortunately, my suggestion of binning it and starting with a fresh shell fell on deaf ears (it was her first car.... :rolleye: )
It'll be a mild custom when it's finished, with a motorsport theme more than likely... it'll stay blue and have something pokey under the decklid!

The bus is a 1965 21 Window Sliding Door Samba....
The motor is based on a VW 'Type 4' Air-cooled Flat Four, it's 2366cc with Twin 44IDF Webers, bigger valve heads, a bit of a cam, full flow custom exhaust, Kennedy Stage 2 clutch with a beefed up Beetle IRS gearbox which made 100 whp on the Dyno with 113 Lb-ft of torque, combined with the line-lock makes for burnout fun! (the last pair of rears did 1500 miles! :surprised: :confused: )
Best time on the quarter was 16.36 at Bug Jam last year...
It's currently taking a well earned break from active duty, while we try and work out ways of making it quicker :jumping: :happy2:
-
a more recent one of the Beetle...

-
He is from vzi I know the username too lol awesome bus mate I take u know Steve Jenkins ? Are u not in the BWA club with that? I hope my bus looks that nice when it's done lol
-
Yeah, been around on VZi since about 2002, don't post as much as I used to.... mostly in DarrenW's Woerthersee thread... as he's one of the guys we go with!
The bus is in BWA, twice... with different owners/drivers... first, Mr. Akciddento, Dan Buzzo ran a 15.1 in 2004 and then my Girlfriend Abi ran a sub-18 in 2006, eventually peaking at a 16.36 with a different motor to Dan at Bug Jam last year! :grin: she was officially the first woman member!
Only know a few of the members in BWA, don't really know Steve Jenkins though.. what bus has he got?
The bus is in semi retirement now though... while we think of ways to make it quicker! :evilgrin:
