I really dig the VW logo above the plate light...cool!
The interior is high class with rich grey upholstery on the seats and
panels,

I love the color brought into the interior with the simple use on the
dash.

the norm in the VW scene
Stitch pattern is classy and attractive.
Nice to see the two tone paint brought cleanly into the door jams.
Seat belts are installed so you can haul the kids around.
Nice audio system in the car with an amp and speakers behind the back
seat.
Crazy cool Vintage Speed shifter!

Nice touch with the carpet trimming under the dash to keep the interior
a bit warmer and quieter.

dash

sweet.

Dig that crazy shifter!
Very nicely fit carpets...a full pro install, not some off the shelf

person it really glows!!

What a beautiful car!
Out back is a very strong running , super reliable single port engine
with a few add ons.
Its a bit of a sleeper actually, as what appears to be a simple 1600,
is really a 2007cc
performance engine. This crazy combination is the work of the masters
at Old Speed here in California
where they have been building some really slick engines that not only
have the added performance, but
decent fuel economy as well. Proper jetting in a single carb can easily
give the big engine what it needs
without bolting on gas guzzling Webers that need fiddling with all the
time.
12 volt electrics with the alternator
Flame thrower electronic ignition distributor...no points to mess with.
Really runs out strong!
Behind the engine is a built Bus gearbox, exhaust is a Tri-Mill Bobtail
setup
The rear suspension is IRS...another conversion by OldSpeed that is an
incredible
upgrade when it comes to ride and handling.
Wheels are tires are excellent
Along with the IRS conversion, the wheels stay properly upright, rather
than tucked in
all camber crazy when lowered like a swing axle car.
Keeps the rubber on the road where it needs to be and is set up for
excellent clearance at the fender.
Rear ride height on this car is adjustable with high end Fox air shocks.
Filler is in the engine room.
Top is from Chucks Convertible Parts and is superb.
Beautiful material and fit.
Headliner looks fantastic as well
Top frame has been fully restored and all rubber seals are fresh
Nice fit!
Very well done
I love the exhaust set up...tucked in nice and neat...no bog goofy
muffler hanging out back.
Engine is super clean underneath.
This was a full, body off restoration by the way...look at how clean
that floorpan is!
Front suspension with its narrowed beam and Fox air shocks.
Surprisingly nice ride and the ability to adjust the ride height to
your desires.
Dual stage master cylinder feeds the disc brakes up front and the stock
drums out back.
Disc brakes and drop spindles
Beam is adjustable in the center as well
In closing this is a really nice car.
It looks great with a fun and classy approach to the modifications
and the performance and handling upgrades are also a well done and
unique approach.
This is a beautiful machine.
