So now that you've done it once, doing a second one should be a breeze, right?

When should I deliver my cab-enstein for reconversion? ;)

It's also a narrow body but I won't be cutting the gorgeous turbo flares off of it any time soon! ;)

Do you still need this? I think I have the front boards from an '85 targa.

Great job on the targa!

Hey thanks Rick:)

So the Bug is getting Turbo'd in the spirit of the BAE turbo kits. Chappy was cool enough to send me the old BAE manual, and I decided to fab it all up and go for a whopping 7lbs. The bumpers will go to paint after I shake this down at least once.
Link to the turbo build.

So today I took the Bugbug for a real drive.. Yesterday was the maiden voyage and resulted in the airbox popoff valve coming unglued. Like literally!:rolleyes:I heard it boost up for the first time(Awesome!) then booof!!! Anyway..
But today success! It boosts, and feels about a 1000 lbs lighter. Mission accomplished.
A couple pics of the new bumpers in the wild..So far so good:D

Awesome.

A package came for the Bug today ;)

That's better!!! I wanted sport seats for this car.. A fine Pelican from Calgary had these!
Thanks Bill:cool: These are the perfect amount of "Old" if that makes sense.. I recovered the comfies and just wasn't happy with how new they looked. Plus well, they weren't sporties. Stoked!!!! Toying with the idea of houndstooth or tartan centers, but for now this is awesome.:D
