Hmmm loads to type...
@ MSM
It was great to meet you and Kamran bhai last night. It was interesting as the time of the mystery meet was past 3am at my workplace!!Good thing my boss knows nothing of my fishy activities! Anything for VWs!
Your car is a nice example, definitely has loads of potential to turn into something more special. It looks good in the pic you posted too, though I was not too sure of the body as I saw it in the dingy light of the parking lot.
Please do post more pics. The front seats would be something for the custom crowd to drool at definitely. Nice.
Also please post the suggestions I gave you yesterday on the various aspects and how you plan on tackling them. That way a potential owner would have an idea of the things one must do after purchasing a bug.
Basit should lead you in the right direction but be aware of anything and everythign you do and discuss things first so you avoid the donts.
I just quickly skimmed through one of my books and this is what came up regarding the AG number engine.........wait for this.....a 1600cc unit from 1970 to 76 for the type 181/Thing/Trekker/VW 'Jeep'. Interesting na???
The engine in your car has been downsized though. It has 1200cc heads and maybe sleeves and pistons. Would need a second look in daylight to confirm a bit.
Waiting to hear from you.
Best of luck and regards.
