History

Parts of this car were in my first car. Very little remains of that VW though as the chassis was re-bodied to fix rust issues 2 rebuilds back.

Purchased with a 1200cc original air cooled engine. The car was first upgraded with a 1641cc engine and a paint job.

The engine was then fitted with EFI and a GT28-320 turbo, along with some 944 turbo brakes.

On from there, the car was rebodied with a new rust free '66 body. Along with a 2332cc turbo engine.

These photos are the 8th chassis off - full rebuild of the car.
