It's on the 10 year restoration plan like some of the club members cars on here :lol: . I had a tranny to put in it but I am using it for the singlecab since 4th gear went out. I'll probably drive the silver bug.

What's wrong with the tranny? I'll buy it back if it's still good...

It's been 3 years and yeah I have been slacking. I already have the type4 2 liter built and ready to install, I just need to do the 944 brakes and the irs tranny swap. Maybe I will get on it this week, but I know it won't be done for the ranch party, perhaps the pier show....

Cool thread. Wide 5 is a bunch of great guys with cool cars and some of the best friends I have in the scene. I hope to have a "coldy cold" with some of you at the Panzer Party before Mills Pond.

[scowl] the Trouble Cab...aaaaarghhhh [/scowl] :twisted:

I AM the hitman. I got tired of looking for you and took the bus as payment. :D

I heard that story...cool picture. If I was a judge, I woulda given you the trophy too just cuz your DC was not peach.... :D

that 3.88 trans is in the back of my bus at my house.... sorry I couldnt get it to you before I left... but it's there for whatever ride you need it for... you really need to get the westy back on the road I miss seeing that bus... the 3.88 IRS and T-4 2 liter is going to be the setup for sure!! is that a RABY shroud your running on that motor??

Mon Mar 02, 2009 7:35 pm

It's a Sharpbuilt 911 shroud. I'd rather have thel 911 fan look, although I do have an OG never used Joe Lociero DTM shroud from the late Joe. Jake now has the molds and makes new and improved versions of the shroud :roll:

What's up fellas. I know I have been out of the loop for a while but the VW virus has no cure. This thread is a nice walk down memory lane. I think I may have a few pictures to post but I will need the assistance of Mr. Walters to get the Scalded Dog up and running again. I may also have a few stickers stashed away...I'll take a look.

Hard to believe I have been a member here since 2006 and made my first post today...lol. I'm looking to transition back to a VW as a driver, but it may take some time.

Pat, Do remember the Air Cooled Junkies of Ft. Lauderdale? I had the turquois 67 beetle with the wide five fake fuchs(at that point it was all about Bergs!), I use to hang out with Kelly and Chris at Tower Shops.
