Looks good Goose! Just my 2 Cents worth, but keep the rear decklid you have. The lines follow the car real well, I think with even with the oval window and large vent on the rear the W Decklid would look a bit out of place.


Oh and whats under the hood? I didn't see any finished under the hood shots? You going Secret Squirrel on us?

Thanks Brad!

How was the install? Did you have to mod anything? Any issues with doors not closing right or not water sealed right? Why is the passenger one useless? Would a 4" ones make a difference?

Sorry about so many questions, but I like to be informed as much as possible.

Hey Bugger!

No Secret Squirrel here. I guess I haven't really taking a picture of the engine. Nothing fancy.


Here are the specs:

1915cc
94 mm pistons
Deck height .087
Head cc is 62 cc for a 7.2 compression
stock stroke 69mm
stock length rods
Crank and rod bearings are standard size align bored first cut .020 and 1 mm thrust


Here is an old picture from long ago. Looks about the same now, except the exhaust. Any wallet friendly Ideas to make it look/work/feel better are welcomed.

To install you do have to cut the door seal a bit to allow the set screws to tighten. The passenger one is useless becasue they have very limited movement and I can't adjust it enough. The 3" is pretty small maybe the 4" would work better or a different mounting point. No problems with the doors closing or the mirrors rubbing on anything.

For your exhaust. You can buy mandrel bent tubes of different sizes, radii, and shapes to make a better looking connector pipe.

Goose, first of all: WOW. This is your vision. We can all have our own opinion of what and how. WHO CARES!! I love it.

And second, if I need or want a side exit exhaust like you have, do I have to build it or is there anyone selling them?

Did I say... I love it? I LOVE IT!!

WOW, just finished this post & was happy to see it rolling. I have always loved the idea of a VW hot rod & you nailed it. Nice build. When are you adding the flat black? Applause

This weekend I marked where the roof cuts will be. I welded some bracings for the body then dove head first and cut the front half off.

How did you measure your roof to make the cuts to the chop top? I am going to start a Volksrod project, which I want to chop the roof like yours is.
