haha yes thats the bloke i work with but it is like fuck yeah when its stood still (the noise is awesome, like a mini race car) but when driving it the noise is something else. it drives awesome for an old car puts a grin on you face (even mine) although its not fast there is loads of turbo chatter on lift off, wastegate and looking cool side ways around roundabouts and corners.

haha its an ex California drag bug so its few inchs winder than it should be stock

edit: -

its only built to this for a test so the customer can get used to driving with boost then the engine is going to be replace with a 2.0ltr type four engine and Porsche gearbox, bigger turbo and more boost (customers build)

other projects on the cards at the moment are splitty pick with a Audi V6 engine in the back or an Audi V12 diesel (show car and track days)
full carbon splitty van or old beetle (show car)
VW Lupo GTI with Mid mounted W12 engine and rear wheel drive (show car and run about and track days)
sandrail project (play and sell on)
custom type four transporter, with some carbon fibre, running on hydraulics and 19" lambo Gallardo wheels (company conversion, show van)
rat look beetle (company conversion, daily driver)
VW LT resto and Conversion (camper van for customer)
old American school bus conversion (company conversion, some where to go while at shows and of course some weekends away)
