Re: 300+ hp V8 conversion
Sorry, progress has been minimal
Because I took a challange and started building a cabrio for my customer: http://www.beetle.ee/foorum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3955
But few weeks ago I got rear coilovers what are the most expensive part in my car (double adjustable...made for drag cars) Then I let some pipes bended and maybe next week They will be welded Then It should be rolling body finally. It got 4 disc brakes (it used tu have 4 dums)
I cut the smashed nose and It will be without front fenders....actually fenders will be like on motorcycles.....on the wheel.
I´ll upgrade this topic soon but at the moment I let you see some stupid things I´ve done
