Alright then...I am a new member, so I am going to make this an intro and project thread.

My name is Erik and I am from Tallahassee, FL USA. I currently ride low and slow in my 1973 VW Super Beetle...pictured here. (Rockin 48 HP)

Now that that part is out of the way..on to the madness. My project consist on a 1974 Super Beetle Body. A 1973 Super Beetle Pan. And what I was told was a JDM STI V3 engine :norty: (I have lots of Suby engine questions) I will have a roll cage, race suspension, upgraded brakes, and so on. But enough with that, onto some pictures.

Heres the engine-
