I'd roll it! It's a good match, unlike the V8 swap. Clean as a whistle, too

That thing would look cool as hell with a Porsche body on it... Wink

Kind of a funny body choice I always thought.

I much prefer the 996/993 based Bus myself. I mean if you're gonna VW up a race car, go all out.

Looks like the decklid weather strip is in wrong, should be along the bottom half.

Here you go. This is from VolksWorld magazine and is on the Bader-Racing website:

http://www.bader-racing.de/en/presse/volksworld.pdf

If I remember correctly, you to could send them your Ghia and they will duplicate the exact same thing for $200k US. Sounds like a bargain to me Shocked

I really liked this car so I ordered a back copy of the magazine. Very Happy

Take care,

Kelly

yawn.

The Donger hasn't been starting five threads a day lately; he's a little off his game... "He shoots! - It's in the air... Oh, it's de-nied...!"

Yeah, so -

Oh, hey, how about that Ghia in the movie, Death Race 2000? It had a rocket engine from a V-2! It was way faster than that silver Porsche Ghia with the backwards rear weatherstripping.
