Congratulations Russel. Your collection is really getting impressive. See you at the Bug-In.

 :o where do you keep all those cars?? you'll need a whole ferry-boat just to bring your cars!

i LOVE that car......nice one Russell.

Congratulations Russel! That car has been one of my favorite gassers ever since I´ve seen its feature in volksworld magazine some years ago. I always wondered why nobody wanted to buy it as was for sale quite a long time now, right?!
BTW: can anybody tell me a litlle bit about the hillborn injection of that era? How dif it work and was it readily available for bus or were it just some basic parts which you had to make to fit?
Bye,

Tobi

if only I'd had the money  ;)

Tobi

Hillborn Fuel injection is quite simple mechanical unit the pump is fixed to the pully the faster the engine trunes the more fuel it gets ! You need a decent fuel pump to feed and avoid lean spots, pretty simple but effective.

Heres a Car Running the Same Front Wheels as the Lil Snort it was called Cream De Scream

That looks a lot like Mouse Trap, the chop, the wheels,... could this be the same car?

As far as I know,Mouse Trap was transform in Lil' Red. Then, it was restored by Chris Morley as Mouse trap once again.
And mouse Trap, at the beginning, was not top chop and has a big blower engine (see VW great number 2).

yes mouse trap started is life without chop top  here's a picture and after chop top roof  ,

and after may be the cream & scream and after this one  the last know is the whip it

Chris Morley bought "Whip It" back in 1995 and it was the original Mouse Trap car - 100% for sure. I have pictures from the day we applied paint-remover on the white Whip It paint and found the yellow with red pinstripes underneath. Judging from these pictures "Cream & Scream" must have been the name of the Mouse Trap at one time.

That is soo cool Split-man, please share them with us, please!! :o
