Anyone of you building a project especially for the European Bug-in? Or have you set this as your goal to complete your project.
For me it's the whole point of starting my karmann project. Let hear yours!

Not a VW but a Fiat 850 with VW running gear. Hopefully my wife will be racing it.  |

Yeah man me too, I can't wait - I'll be doing all 3 slalom, drag and the off road course and if I get time the Show & shine too, it would be AWSOME to get one of the first "euro bug in" trophies |

I wish I had the time and funds to make one project for every show...
My engine is getting new heads from JPM with some modifications. The goal is 10 second time slips, still fully streetable and filling her up at the gas station. Hopefully the engine will be finished before x-mas. JPM thinks the heads might be finished to Dyno day, October 28, be there or be #!
After that it is time for paint and bodywork if my wallet allows. I am going for a more classic cal look instead of just worn out stock. The car is more or less rust and dent free so it shouldn't be that big task.

A couple of years ago a swedish guy was making Ghia and 356 bodies in fibreglass. I think it was the Ove Nilsson/Anders Fridh team but I am not sure, maybe someone can fill in? I have only seen two finished cars: Fridhs own and Jörgen Erikssons. |

Hi Russell are you going to drive the Sumfun car it just that i think it was Clyde Berg that took it up the 1/4 mile and said he would not get in that car ever again as it was all over the place at the top end. |
