The BEETLE!!!
The first thing you might notice about this beetle is the fact that it has an interesting paint job... This is due to the fact that It is Hammerite! This car is the main reason our minibike production has slowed.
A lot of things have been done to this car. We felt the bumpers insufficant so we built our own.
There is a shot of the external oil cooler. The instructions that came with it said to mount it to the cooling tin, but that Is the stupidist place I would have ever put it. if we put it there it would have dumped the hot air on all of the cylanders. (the problem with the stock vw cooler is the fact that it sits right over the #3 cylander, so when it cools oil, it dumps all of the hot air right on the #3 and that is why #3 always goes out. We fixed the problem.
ENGINE. It is pictured here with dual solex 34s, but we did away with those and bought a weber progressive carb.(see engine spec sheet for engine mods)
Ahh... a glimpse of the interior. Look at those custom switches that are a result of re-wireing the car. The button on the right is what starts it.
