Init actually the beetle would sound good if it wern't air colled, bit of scooby rumble :lol:

It was on some car programme the other day that they restored a beetle it was mint....4 a beetle, like ollie says i'd go 4 a mini or sumthing stick a mg turbo lump in it, or even an xe :)

the engine in the beetle is the same shape as a subaru flat four, which is quite easy to put in apparently, and I've seen it done

;)

Good mate of mine is currently (well 3 years so far :lol: ) building a 2.1 out of his original 1300cc engine. twin 48"s etc. Should b doing a quatre in around 14 seconds when its finished. Gonna be a beast.

And of course, there is RTTS, the best event ever :D :D :D

I would rather do it all to a Mini, at least they handle :D

Mate of mine got this fucked Beetle for a tenner once, he was planning on restoring it himself, the firewall thing where the engine was behind, was all rusty and so was half of the floor pan! He decided to get a scrappy to take it away in the end, he got bored of it, and got a can of red spray paint and started spraying graffiti and things like "Project Shitter" on it, it was class :lol:

good luck finding a minter!! got deep pockets yeah???

My mate is really clued up on them and is gonna find a minter

My mates dad had one of them denim edition Beetles in her garden until the other day.

It got scrapped.

you want one of the jeans editions that come with a denim interior!!

personnally i hate the fukin things

A Classic one of course, and gonna mod it up good. My mate got me started on this cos he has restored on himself and knows everything about them. Another good thing is my girlfriend loves old beetles and would have no objection to me modding it!! Result. Just gotta save a grand and sell the corsa. :D

Anyone know any good sites on beetles?
