So i have this OTHER project that has been on hold, pretty much since i acquired my 65 bus. i WAS building a volksrod, but after starting the GL bus build, and having an extra set of Porsche brakes laying around, i decided to build somewhat of an F-1 inspired car. It will have a mid-mounted supercharged VR6 mated to a 914 901 5 speed trans. Full tube chassis with coilover/a-arm front suspension and 944 aluminum trailing arms with coilovers in the rear.
i got this silly mid-engine idea after drooling over the "UBRDUB" that volkdent is workin on.
Here are a couple pics of the car i was building.

Chopped the top 5.5" in the front and about 3.5" in the rear. i think it came out decent for my first chop.

Puttin a big hole in the roof.

Capped the doors, since it will have no B pillar and therefore no side glass.

And thats pretty much where it sits at this point. i have acquired a pretty nice original W declid that i will be routing the exhaust through, and have ditched the whitewalls, because i want to put a set of 18" or 19" Hollow spoke Porsche wheels on it. Like these:
