I cut my wrenching teeth on VW bugs and Type 3's back in the '70's and '80's. Been somewhat out of the game for several years looking to rejoin into the 914 world. Generally the easiest way for more kick is to increase displacement. Short of going to turbo's what is available as far as big bore kits. I am not interested in going the 6 cylinder route or chevy small block route. The car will be street only, but I need speed.

Holy cow. You should buy that tub from that guy in the UK...for $1,500. Man...the entire long is kaput. Why would I do such a thing, this is the fun part. Good thing we have RD at our disposal, it would be much more difficult without them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Thats the spirit. Honestly I was in same position - well maybe not quite as bad. The fun is in fixing stuff that others would simply throw away. For me that true of vintage cars, vintage motorcycles, vintage stereos, vintage tube amps. Whatever. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) this throw away society we've become accustomed to. Though - next time I'd buy a tub from CA. The guys in CA have it made. |

Minimal rust repair, priceless. @mepstein Now you tell me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I've got way more than $1300 "invested" in reproduction sheetmetal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) And to think some guy got a whole car for just $200 more than that! By now you should know how stubborn (i.e. dumb) I am. Saving a rusty chassis and building up a Mag case 2.4L that will certinaily cost more than the 3.xL engine you offered up to me a while back. Nah, the easy way out isn't my thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) But next time . . . . I certainly would take you up on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
