I have entered a few shows lately and picked up a number of trophies which is a bonus. The intention was never to build a show car (it gets driven often - not a daily driver but each weekend it gets a thrashing), but the awards mean a lot considering I have done the majority of the work (especially the award for best paint on the weekend just past - not bad considering it was my first full respray - done in my old mans garage).
Cheers Alan

I've been having heaps of fun giving the beetle a good thrashing on most weekends. On long runs it has been running hot, however this could be a combination of mixture and timing. I have decided to add an external cooler though for some piece of mind. The fan will be switched so once the temp gets to a certain range, I can flick it on/off manually (could have run a thermostat/bypass but for now this will suffice).
   Hopefully over the next few days the plumbing will be done then I can get the engine back in to see if it makes a difference! I am glad I made the rear apron removable! Cheers Alan

Just a quick update pic at a show on the weekend. Picked up another few awards which was cool, but most satisfaction is from the compliments from people on the street - certainly lots of fun to drive! Stayed a lot cooler with the cooler and fan going (max 210F whereas before it was getting up to 240F).
 Obviously I had finished the cooler install before the run:
