Thumbs up ...

I'm in the progress of selling the car for a very fair price to a friend, making room for new projects, hehe! Even my other car, the silver 83 Mex beetle is ready to be sold, as I want to build a more fun orientated car, maybe a Cal Looker? :silly:
The wheels are not from the 03, I got a shop that welds them to the same sizes in the rear. It's original 5,5" x 15" front and 7" x 15" in the rear.
The mid gearbox mount is homegrown, as the GB mount is too deep for a lowered car in my opinion. Also the cup braces over the gearbox, that work together with the roll-cage, are homegrown. I described the engine a few times. It's a 84mm x 96mm (2,4l) Type 4 with a 48mm CB injection. With a Pauter cam and 11.0:1 c/r I tried to reach over 200HP, still not tested, but this will come up in the next months. I'll feature all of the goodies, as soon as I've got all the results!
