It will need a lot of work, but ill be worthed. Hope To make it a street-drag buggy using the turbo and Weber.

Awesome! I love imps! Cant wait to see it!

awsome. what kind of webber were you considering? idf, progressive? looks awsome.

I'll use the weber 40 that I have.

Sweet . you should get it done for bug-a-puluza. i don't want to have the only turbo powered VW there (HINT HINT) .

So any updates?

I'm working on sanding the body to the original color,(it has two other colors on top of it). The chassis has been cut to size and new floors will be added next weekend. The engine that came with it runs strong,still will take the heads out and install new jugs and hight rev springs for the turbo. Also being busy fixing ( two new VW in the Warner Robins area) for some friends, 1965 and 1960
Pics will come next week.

Also need one 5 lug 5.5 wide wheel, or two wider wheels 7 or 8 inch for the rear.

The chassis is welded, and the body sanded to the original paint, still need some hand sanding in some spots.
Working on floors.

Trail fit of the body.




A friends VW that I'm bringing back to life.

Looking good Romy! Hopefully we'll see you again next month for the DynoDay/Reynolds weekend.

oh my! im in love!!

Great job Romy! It looks awesome!

How does it ride sitting that low?
It rides really good, has lowering spindles and an old front end thats being
low for some time. The front tires touch the fenders at full turn, besides that it all good. It needs to be align cause it shakes between 60 and 70, and a roll cage to make it feel more rigid.

Awesome job! Johnny and Joe on this site can build you a cage.

Sweet it looks awesome when you bringing it up this way?

That is a sweet ride.
