Thanks, appreciated.
Well, latest news:
After running 13.05 at Bugorama, I found out on the way home that I'd broken something in the tranny. I knew the tranny was the weak spot in my system, but it happened sooner than later. SOOOOO
I think I'm going to start from scratch, take the body off of the chassis, buy a Boxster chassis, and do something along the lines of this guy:
Bugster
I know that big power is possible from aircooled thanks to Wally, but I really want the balance of mid-engine, and buying a salvage Boxster S will be the easiest and most cost effective way of getting a great handling car that looks like a Bug. I'm shooting for lowish miles and running, but I do like the idea of 4-500 hp in a chassis that is predictable, so down the road I may do a VR6 or V8 like Hugo.
I just feel like I've come a long way toward my goals, but that I won't get the type of handling I want with the chassis that I have.
I might be parting out the chassis I have now, anyone interested in a double wishbone front end like Mendeola only bolt on?
