do you ever have one of those weeks when cash seems to always heading out of the door to pay for parts for the VW?

17x205/40 tyres
Super squishies + cam/lifters, straight cuts
pauter 1.4's
Jenvey throttle bodies

& thats just in the past week.

berg5/quaife box to pay for soon too !!!

I sometimes wonder if I should have got a bank loan for 964 RS & sold the bug. Prob would have worked out cheaper in the long run & hassle free :)

Just thought i'd have a minor rant . Prob feeling like this because its the hottest day of the year over here in the UK & my cabrio is still not finshed :(

The Porsche would have cost way more... you would have Moded that car too so at least you are buying VW upgrades just think of the cost of Porsche upgrades.... I will stick with my VW project and when finished smoke the doors off of that stock Porsche and He will be the one thinking man I should have bought a VW it would have been cheaper and less head ache.... Keep it up you will enjoy the result of your Labor of Love!!!

I asked that myself a couple of times....but I remind myself that when my bug is done I would never think about a 911 again.

The bug is one of a kind....that you build from scratch.

The only fair comparrison would be an old 911 that you restore and completely modify.
