My VW Buggy
I have this buggy for more then 25 years now. Build it together with my dad who past a way about 15 years ago. After his dead i couldn't touch it for quite some time. It had to much memories of my dad. It had several engines from a VW beetle 1300 to a Ford 2.8 V6.
I rebuild it after i had a serious motorcross accident where i broke my back and was paralyzed for several months. I will never sell it, it's simply to important for me.
specs:
1970 pan converted to IRS suspension, non shortened, 6 point rollcage
engine 2.0 aircooled boxer from a vanagon, other camshaft tuned for power at low RPM, porsche 914 heads, 2x 40mm webercarbs. 105hp 4500rpm at the rearwheels 173Newton at 1900 rpm.
weight 640kilo
drives like a maniac, gives a bit of motorbike feeling
If I did know then what i know now i would have used a suby engine instead of building that aircooled one. This engine is so pigheaded that it runs super on day 1 and rubish on day 2 without touching it. I blame the weber carbs for it. Maybe some day i gonna mount a suby turbo in it
