HA thats was the first wave, lets see the next one!! I knew you would be well received man!! Tell these guys about the plans for your 66!!

[bigjoe]

Ok, you asked for it........
My '58 Double door 11 window. Just picked it up from Az last year. So far I narrowed the front beam 4-1/2"s with adjusters, flipped spindles from Wide Five and am now in the process of putting an IRS set up in the rear.











This is my '66 daily driver, bought for $500 3 years ago, had to replace the pans and heater channels, been driving it everyday for the past 3 years even in the winter. This winter I will be taken it down and putting a 2276 Turbo engine in it.....I thought you would like the first pic....



aka Flying Pig(see front bumper)






This is my '64 Squareback(wifes ride)...











This is my '57 Chopped Oval, 2110, Porsche 5 speed, 90mph@4000rpm, konig seats, Porsche guages, suicide doors, shaved handles and wipers ect ect...



















My garage, before the Squareback came along...



Wifes daily driver....'09 Jetta Sportwagen TDI
