Not really. No exterior/interior mods. Mostly drivetrain.

Thinking of lowering it on some polished early fuchs, with a Boxster brake setup all around.

Engine/trans will come after. Maybe IRS with the 923 trans i have, bolted to a T4-2L? T1-2275?

We'll see, time and my currently empty wallet will tell.

I'm open to suggestions. What do you guys think?

Pete

Killer ride Pete!

You have a split modified to the nines for your performance giggles.

Rock it stock dude! Clean and tidy it up, do the maintenance/repairs to get it reliable and enjoy! I like a performance/modified VW as much as we all do, but a time capsule stocker is irreplaceably cool!

Can't do it Alex.

Need a little more juice. It is SLOW!!! That 40hp, takes FOREVER to get to 100km\h. I can't handle that. Not enjoyable.

The drop will take care of this rollover feeling i have when taking corners.

Can't have the drum brakes either. Hated them on my super, and i will launch this drum setup as soon as the money is there to do a Porsche setup.

Other than that, it stays stock!

Pete

I agree 100%, although this is a GL performance forum, and I came into the GL scene not even being a VW guy, I've learned a major appreciation for the original VW stuff.
