Right then not much to say really we got her on the 24th of june 2004 to use while LOWLA was off the road ...
She had a 1641 engine with a engle 110 cam, high perfomance cam followers, hardened collets, lightened and balanced bottom end, twin 44 dellortos, 009 dizzy and a stainless steel turbo trip exhaust.
Shes lowered on the front with drop spindles, uprated fat anti-rollbar, uprated bushes amd spax adjustables alround. Theres a set of drilled disk up front. Empi 8's 185/60/15's front and 185/65/15's on the rear. Apart for that she was standard.
The tyres got changed straight away to 195/50/15's front and 195/65/15's rear. Underneath was very sound and rust free but the body had some rot on it the passenger door skin would flap in the wing so sourced a good second hand one there was a huge hole in the front wing under the bumper. She was a good rat look bug.
When at JAMBOREE we get a set of pre 67 wings, sloping head lights, 1200 rear lights and a pre 67 front panel for £50
Once LOWLA was back the bug got played with. The wings and lights were fitted, new black wing beading, new fibreglass W decklid, new pre 67 rear panel, new cal look window rubbers, new pre 67 running boards, new pre 67 wide chrome body trim, new blade bumpers .I then painted her in red oxide which was sweet.
I then painted her matt vw met blue.
The rear end got lowered abit the bumpers changed for pre 67 t-bars,
fitted a pre 67 fuel tank, fitted a new twin mount aerial which was on about two weeks till someone snapped it off on my drive
.
I fitted a new clutch and flywheel oil seal this is the only trouble we've had with her bless her shes good as gold.
For the mot she needed the rear brakes rebuilding and a new master cylinder and three bulbs and the magic tree moving.No welding at all how cool was that.
May 6th 2005..
Due to being offered sensible cash for her with the 1500 in her meant i had to sell her
. Yet another sad day cos she had been so good bless her ..
September 10th 2006
The deal has been struck and she will be sat back on my drive by the weekend, the bloke that bought it of me has prob done 2k miles and less than 1k on the new 1600 tp he had fitted..
This is gonna be for Frizz..
