Thanks Geoff.  :rockon:

Don't you agree that it would look way better with a set of wide 5 Sprint Stars !   :D

I do! If you want a set give me a call. There are only a few set's available, after that it could be a LONG wait for more.

Thanks for the positive feedback gang  :wub:

Now for the to do list:
-wide 5 sprint stars (always been a big fan, to many BRM's out there, not that theres anything wrong with that !)
- POWER - hmmm  [_[  stroker maybe. wasn't FLOSSIN unloading the motor out of his vert ?

-I need to lower it just a bit. It has dropped spindles up front but I need to bring the arse end down a bit. Can someone let me know what I'm up against.

Oh ya, got to install the pop outs I've got and the bambus tray.
Hey Geoff to you guy's have any sort of mounting hardware for the tray if there is such a thing ?
Thanks

The tray uses two brackets (\"L\" brackets from home depot) And a o ring or rubber band over the steering tube. I can sell you the stuff but you can pick it up at any home depot or hardware store.

i vote for centrelines!they look fantastic on a black car with moldings still on

JIM, don't think that centerlines haven't crossed my mind. A buddy of mine back in high school ( 20 +yrs ago) had a 65 all stock, all chrome, lowered, black with brushed centerlines, looked awesome. But I'm really diggin the sprints right now.
Anybody know a good hook up for centerlines or sprints ? (I mean \"like new\" used)

EMILIO, I would likely look to unload them. There 4 bolt, but as I would go wide 5, the adapters could go with them.

OUTKAST - It just might be available. It depends on whether some things work out or not.

LANNY, So your responsible.  :lol: What did ya work on ?  

Finally, SLAMMEDBUS, Can you translate for me ? You in to the moonshine ?

Cheers !

I converted it to 12V at  least 15 years ago. I might have done the dropped spindle conversion too, can't remember.

Wow, I can't believe 9 yrs have gone by!!
I've still got her and if I look back over that original wish list, I'm pretty much there.
I've got my sprint stars (although looking for centerlines now, thanks for planting the seed Jim),
Running a nice strong 2180 with dual 44IDF's but have the 48IDA's ready to go on!!!
New tranny from Rancho, narrowed adjustable from CB with CB front disc and adjustable rear plates and a berg locking shifter.
Now I just need to hold on to it for another 15 years so my young lad Seamus can rip around in it.
Big thanks to all those on the forum and in the scene (Geoff P, Lanny, Darren K, James B, Jason at Dale's etc) who have laid their hands on it along the way

Hey there Todd,
Nice car,.
I see you are sporting the Strictly German club on your avatar but you are not a member?
:hum:

Title: Re: Todd's Beetle Aka 1blk66
Post by: 1blk66 on March 22, 2014, 02:25:41 PM

Randy, I have no idea how the strictly German avatar got there. I have mucked with my profile and it's not even there. I've also previously asked the moderator to remove.
If you know how to remove, let me know.
Thanks
