Hello to all!


After posting some questions, it´s really time to introduce myself and the new project:

I´m Stefan from Germany and work on my VW´s since ´ 89. My father helps everytime he can and we have a little crew named “Fulla Groffd Drag Racing Team”. Fulla Groffd is franconion dialect and it stands for “Full Force”.

My first car was and is the green “kraftkaefer” that i drove on the streets and 1994 for the first time on the strip.
11,56sec with this 700kg car was the fastest time in 2012 on the 1/4mile. It should go back to the streets, when the new project is running.

For the meetings and little bit fun on the streets I drive a 1965 Typ 3 Notch with an 2276 Type1 in there.

6 years ago I decided to buy an 1969 ex- circle-track body to build a new race car. I worked on it for a few months and then it stood in the corner until now.

Look on the pictures and you will say: “What the hell is he doing with all this big pipes in there???” I know they´re too much, it´s an Wiechers circle track safety cell in there… You can´t have everything…. I´ll try to loose some weight on me, if the car is to heavy in the end ;-)

Time to share some pictures now. Tranny, seat and shifter are now in there.

Thanks !

For the first "test & tune" we´ll put in the 2,4 typ1 of the green kraftkaefer.

And when shifting and braking works, i have a 3,0l Pauter short block here, that should go in there. With angle flows, 62 Terminators, GRP Aluminium rods.....
