It's a little while since I've been on here, but I thought it might be of interest to show my current project. But first, a little history...
Some may recall my injected WBX GT Beetle which has been my main toy for the last 10 years, slowly evolving from a "Street Sleeper" to something less subtle...
Well, there's been another toy tucked away slowly waiting its time - my Jeans Beetle. Purchased by me in 1986 when I was an eager young 16year old (To save you the mental arithmetic, I'm 43...). I am the second owner. It's first rebuild was done in 1992, and by '94 it was running a 1679cc unit with Engle120, 9.5 compression, and K-jet injection.
I took it off the road in '95 for "a few small jobs", and by '98 it was looking like this:
So, 3 house moves, a wife, 2 children, the WBX Bug, and 16 years later, i was beginning to wonder whether to scrap it. But it's my first car - the one that got me in to all this! So I just couldn't...
Then I had a go in this round Castle Coombe...
And then began THE PLAN...
So here goes with the build thread :-)
