i dont liek these cars but yours is looking swish mate, how much did it set you back then?

 

[Graham W]

now then EzyD

set me back far to much £2,200. But not had to much work to do on it. Just clean the tyres, wax the paintwork. service the engine and drive it (needs to be driven more oftern tho)

[EzyD]

wow thats one hefty price tag haha, you planning anyhting for it, or you just keeping it original?

 

[Graham W]

Hefty yes but when you look at the whole picture NO.
hasnt let me down at all, service cost are very small(do it myself) No tax, insurance for just over £100 f/c.
service history wow. the owers have kept recieipts for 64pence to bills for a full resto in the late 90s for £6,000. I think the history is second to none.

when I got it (3 years ago) It had new wings, h/channels, floor pans, doner doors. etc.
O icould have got one much cheeper i know but this little baby took my eye (and my pocket)

Just keeping it as it is unless a nice porche engins comes along and I would drop that in but i dont think it will

my next question was does it have a prsche engine but maybe not haha, it would be awesome to have a porsche engine, it would fly

not to bad to drive. You have to think more, break sooner (no abs etc) the wide chomes (Which I hate but hold the road very very good) doesnt give you a great turning curve but other than that I smile like hell when I am driving it, Dont ask why i just do lol.

Ps it smells nice too and Im not a perve lol

Porsche engines are too heavy in the back of a bug, you'll get much better power to weight performance and handling with a modified Type 4 2ltr

I know because i've had both ! Porsche engine was pulled and sold within 2 months. It now resides in the back of a mental Beach buggy !

Oh dude, AWESOME VEEDUB!!!

to be honest I will keep it standard with its 1500 sp engine from VEGE. good old b/proof one. I see you like speed eh.
