New to the GL Scene!!

[siromega]

Greetings All!

PHAT73, Great looking car (the Blue one!) Gives some ideas for my new 1302 project (1971 Super Beetle) can you please tell me where you bought your front spoiler please? i've been looking for one of those.

PanelFantastic, how much was the ecotec engine and which adapter,transmission, mounts do you have to use in order to place it in the car? Seems like alot of fabrication, no? I'm new to the GL scene but I really love the look.

I am basically starting with a '71 project that is essentially bare bones, no engine BUT this has already been done:

Top Line lowering kit
So Cal Front disc brake kit
New tie rod arms
New sway bar
Prothane bushing kit
New rear drum brakes
New hard brake lines
New fuel line through tunnel
New clutch/throttle cables
Both floor pans are new
Pan was POR15'd
New master cylinder
Aluminum rims


Apart from that, the shell of the car is rust free with NO interior at all whatsoever and I need to do the wiring as well (new harness is needed).

But I have a schedule to keep to as the daughter goes off to college this summer and is taking my van, Wife has a new Buick, so i will need to get my project up and running by then or i'm walking. Any advice on engines, I am thinking of a 1776 with twin carbs and I think I am leaning towards a tranny off a '74 bug.

Cheers all!

BTW: How many of you have 1302's? Any pics please?
