What Are You Driving ?

[Cargo]

The carbs are 44 Webers. They're awesome. I put an MSD electronic ignition on it as well.

I'm suprized you're still running the mechanical fuel pump and not an electric.

So what size is the motor with the stroker crank? I bet it can boogie.

Oh,
I've since installed an electric fuel pump on it as well.
I would have to go through my build log to give an exact number, but it's around 2,000. I put a Scat short-throw shifter in it. She's a lot of fun to drive, and can haul ass.

I bet you will be excited to see this then. Here is my baby. 71 VW Superbeetle...
It has a bit of a backstory. My Grandfather bought it brand new for my Dad back in 71. He drove it all the way through college and then left it out in a cow pasture for 14 years. One day, I decided that I wanted to fix it up and drive it. Now, 14 years out in the elements takes a toll on a vehicle. There was rust everywhere. The floor pans and firewall were completely rusted out and you could step into the car and onto the ground, Flinstones style. We towed it home and began restoring it. It took us 3.5 years total, working mostly on the weekends and sometimes at night after my Dad got off of work. There was a lot of bodywork involved, with hefty amounts of reinforced fiberglass Bondo. I sandblasted the entire car, removing all of the rust. We sourced some stainless steel sheeting and built new floor pans and a new firewall. When it was finished, it was showroom quality. We shaved the door handles and installed solenoids in the doors so they could be popped open by remote. We sprayed a pearlescent paint job on it, which turned out beautiful. We built a beefed-up motor and installed it. This little VW hauls ass. I have since removed the heater boxes, straight-piped it and added a stinger on the back in place of that big muffler. It sounds like an airplane taking off. It is a very fun vehicle to drive, and will stay in my family for more generations hopefully. My son will drive it one day.
