i thought you were just thinking of doing it, didn't realise you'd got that far into it. T-5 wheels are common on Beetles anyway so won't look to out of place

That Bug doesnt look too bad. Ive had worse! Errm.. But that was in my youth.. Never did finish the bloomin' thing. Ended up selling it on as a half finished project. 1303 with a 'VOLKSWAGEN' Dashboard instead of clocks, etc Slammed and fitted with a later half tuned engine

yeh please do mate, my bro & his girlfriend are big VW fans so be good to keep him informed & to be on the look out for it

i'd expect wheelies, Stumpy used to wheelie when it had its original 1.3 air cooled so there more than a fair chance yours will. Altho its longer you've got a load more bhp
