now THAT is style!

incredible! hopefully no more arguments with your wife that cost you a car...

Lets see -- it is turbo'd, water to air innercooled, EFI, angle port heads, 4" bore ARPM engine that is 2963cc

Well, my buddy just had to have the '56, so I sold it to him, without the engine of course. So I was looking around and found this setting in a guys backyard. It was a cover car for Hot VW's back in the 90's










And of course it just had to have the big engine put into it




So this my current VW -- -- Doing some fine tuning to it to really make it mine -- need to change the EFI from Electromotive to AEM -- stuff like that but it slowly coming around to being a nice little street car

It keeps getting better!

thank you -- I appreciate the nice comments

Currently doing a freshen up of the engine -- chasing some valve train issues -- and finally, just now, starting to get all the new parts in from Pauter, Autocraft and others to continue the rebuild -- -- The guy doing the boring on my cylinders is a old (72) biker dude and I've had to wait for him to get back from the Sturgis rally, then recover from the hard partying, now I'm just waiting for him to decide to get back to work LOL

I've spent the last couple of days finalizing the placement of the innercooler system, and some changes to the placement and way my fuel lines were orginally installed so I can get the car certified to run at the WOS (World of Speed) up on the salt flats in Utah.

Sexy Bitch

This whole who is who thread needs a 2014 update -- So here is one LOL -- Took the Ghia out to Donut Derelics (car show) in Huntington Beach CA the first Saturday of 2014-- -- as I was leaving my right foot became so HEAVY I just couldn't hold it up anymore and unfortunately it was over the throttle, just as I was letting out the clutch with the left foot and about then the turbo spooled up and then .. .. .. and then .. .. .. well, let's say, the Ghia was headed north and the Porsche trans decided to head south .. .. .. Damn the luck LOL --

So the car is in the garage waiting for some more money to be thrown at it...

Ouch
