Question...
The car was water-cooled originally and has intake/exhaust vents for a radiator. With all the adapters available, why not something more reliable and water-cooled for an engine?
I HATE aircooled VW engines, so I'm biased, but I'm mostly just wondering. |

LoL! Awesome. I hate them, but keep running them, like a battered wife, so who's the smart one?
There was somebody a while back who did a Land Rover with VW pan and engine and I thought, "LR bought the old Buick 215 from GM. With all the power goodies and dress-up finned aluminum goodies for the 215, why wouldn't you go front engine with a motor that LR actually used? Tri power would look so cool under the hood!"
Now I know... There are people who love VW engines. |

The car on Jalopnik was built by a friend of mine. I commented about it below that article under the name Sandals. I only mention that so I don't have to write the same paragraph here.
Cool car. _________________ nothing |
