Nice! I enjoyed that!

The guy in the video Memminger is famous. He is owning a company that rebuilts Bug cabs.

He also started to stamp new steel parts for the 914 (front hood), but this seems to be a non profitable business.

So, is that a '72 /6 or a conversion? Is that a '74 rear bumper I see with holes for the rear tits? I didn't think euro's had those.

The six in the first video had a four steering column. None the less, nice videos, especially the 910 (loved the drivers running to their cars for the start!) and an awesome Ghia.

I agree with the Ghia response as well. Does anyone have one of Jakes screaming 4 bangers in one?

Pictures maybe?

Jup,

Look in shoptalkforums. He was building one for a guy in the Cape Kennedy/ Melbourne FLA area which is where I used to run mine. The thread talks about the engine going into a convertible and I mentioned that with a torque monster, the frame flexes- a lot. The dash in my car had a nice dent caused by the stickshift smacking into the dash under hard acceleration.

Yeah, I remember that Karmann Ghia handling- all over the road. That rounded front below the headlights causes the front to lift and the rear squats and loads the Z- bar. At 115mph, you can feel the front end lift- kind of like a boat lifting up on the waves. That bumper may help act as a spoiler, but mine was missing.
