Used to have a '68 bug myself. That thing was so much fun! I used to live underneath that thing! Had 2100cc w/ 48IDA's until I put a rod through the top of the case racing a camaro on the freeway here in SoCal. You should of seen the look on the camaro drivers face when we were running side by side even though he was doing his best to pull away from me he couldn't until the engine let go!:bananna2:

Holy crap!!!

[Steve68]

Sweet, is it pretty streetable,

I had the usual 1835, major ported heads, 110 cam dual 40 IDF's was pretty quick, very high compression,

[JoshStratton]

That car looks familiar. Was it on the cover of Hot VWs a while back...running next to a Nova (i think)?

[Andrew F]

yes its very streetable, only 8:1 compression runs fine on pump doesnt make much heat off boost. and no its never been a cover car! ha i wish.

[cadpro]

That car looks familiar. Was it on the cover of Hot VWs a while back...running next to a Nova (i think)?

Nah, that was Jeff Hart's car, with Roger Crawford's (Heads-Up Performance) deuce, about 5 years ago...

[Andrew F]

Yeah Geoff's a great guy and has a badass car!

[Bill Howell]

Any chance you VW guys know Tim Norwood?

[Andrew F]

sounds familiar

[Bill Howell]

He drags a good bit over here on the east coast. He runs a dragster right now with VW power. He also built a fiberglas body VW several years ago that was on the cover of the VW mag mentioned above. He lives here, and a friend of mine.

[Andrew F]

I think he posts on another forum i frequent, could be why its familiar

[cadpro]

Any chance you VW guys know Tim Norwood?

Yeah, I knew him. Sort of. He ordered some parts from me when I worked at RLR. The guys he sold his door-car to in Germany was also a customer of ours.
