So I.....

Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

So I.....

Post by ntsqd »

Got to drive my old buggy at Calico last weekend. SWMBO had never ridden in it and seemed impressed. I didn't tell her that it only had a stock 1600 D/P in it, that the 2.0L is still in our storage container.....

Might just have to build another one. Can't let that 2.0L simply waste away......

Off to see what I can find in major components (5.38 002, pan w/ title, body, etc.).

EDIT: Poked about a bit, looks like $10k would be a reasonable budget if I don't get too carried away. Input on bodies?

No kidding, this is cool to see, another project. You guys stay gone way to long. Is she saying you know how to make a 1600 run like a 2.0?

I don't think that we're quite there yet. This is still very preliminary. I'll need to sell the '65 Valiant before I can make a move.
