Other than 19" wheels, I have kept the rear end of the old chassis as my looong term plan is to fit a 4.2l Audi V8 with Audi transaxle longitudinally, maybe with some turbos for good measure and I can use it to do all the mocking up but for now it will be my daily commuting car while I finish off my WRX powered beetle cabriolet
That should be 'rather interesting' so to speak - keep up the excellent work
