Runs on 5psi from the stock 14b, runs good and quiet, built mostly for 'style' and to be something you rarely see on the road. Fast isnt really in the cards for this one, it's just fun to cruise around with.










Here's where it's headed:



I also have an MK1 duck bill for it and rivet on fender flares. If the weather holds out this weekend I might make some progress on the body.

Awesome and very tough looking waGun mate. I for one hope the weather holds out
Welcome to the site.

Fast isn't on the cards - with the 2 litre twin cam turbo? Have you driven it in the wet to know how much difference there is between the old single cam and carby engine? This thing would hammer...

You're certainly right, it's a lot faster than my stock 76 sedan, but it's not as fast as most other 4g63 cars i've built.

in the wet it seems to stay pretty straight under throttle, the 225/50's on the 15x10's in the back help with that.

I bought this car in california and drove it across the country with the old 2 liter carb'd engine, the secondary on the carb was stuck shut so i drove it through the mountains on a 1 barrel carb

I plan to drive it back to long beach california next year for the japanese classic car show, assuming i can get time off work, they never seem to understand when i say 'i want to take a 2000 mile road trip in an old scrap heap'

here's my other car, the girlfriend drives this one in the summer, i drive it sometimes.

Driving through mountains with a jammed secondary would've been 'leisurely'. Some people aren't going to get it when it comes to old school small cars, which is sad. There is a lot going for them if you're looking for something different, cheap to run and easy to drive. And nearly always some guy will slow down and check your ride out. Anyhoo, you have got some nice toys there! We shall wait in anticipation with your next offerings

Well, flares and chin spoiler / duckbill mounted, went out to take pictures but none of them turned out. Here's what I got;

What's the front spoiler off?

MK1 Golf duck bill

More.pics! What did you do to the guards to fit the wheels? Cut the inner lips off under the flares?

yeah i chopped 1-2 inches off each fender.

More shitty pictures, I dunno what is up with my lack of ability lately. Probably just too cold to be standing outside setting up a shot.

Just curious, how much steering lock do you have? My 16x8 +10's rub on my firewall before full lock, and the 13x6 +5 on my green GC wagon rub at full lock on the right front side only.

Have you modified the firewall (with a big hammer)?

yeah it rubs before full lock and will just get worse when I lower it. I'll fix it with a BFH.

Haven't lowered it yet, but went out in search of an abandoned military base from the 30s or 40s, found it. The place was really creepy and took up about 2500 acres.

I really dig your wagon. It's cool. Some nice pics there too.

Love the shit out of this car, its a beast. Well done :-)

How is the V8 conversion going riccer?

Awesome car, so glad you lost the roof rack. Just the altitude problem to sort and I think she'd be perfection.

Oh Hell yes!!

This thing is awesome!

Love the new pics.
Besides the matte black paint I think twin exhausts poking out through the bumper mounts would top it off perfectly

Thanks guys!

i'm going to put an actual bumper on the back, the roof rack was just off for a bit, i'll put it back on.

My car was just featured on speed hunters!

well, we got a bit of snow for the new year.

wow!!!
this thing is awesome!

Love it mate!

Its perfect

Thanks man!

Took it out for a drive today, pulled it into the garage to fit some new seats I got for it for free!



Also going to hook the electric fan up to a temp switch



found this fortune in the car from our cross country road trip, we got it at a thai place in vegas.

got to take the car out on sunday before we got really dumped on with snow. New dash is going in soon. As you can see, some stuff is missing.

Nope, everything there. Split dash - check, cracked sun visors - check, hole in the dash for the stereo - check, the 'what the...' look from GF, check.

Pretty sure that "stereo" is a PAFC??
