My dad's new toy
 

I know it isn't f-body related but its pretty awsome
1973 Super Beetle 1.9 liter engine (pics to come this weekend!)
Dad picked it up real cheap ...... but it needs a lot of work!

You could even add one of those cool new "patina" finishes.

If it was up to me the first mod would be a new motor:twisted:

But it is not... he's just restoring it back up to the way it was.

How 'bout this? Not as much cutting involved...

I've seen a VW Bug convertible with a 454 in it. Apparently the big blocks have to be short deck style since they don't fit properly in the VW otherwise :shock:

the beetle drifting FTW :lol:

Yeah, maybe we could give drifting a try!!:twisted:
