Dad still has a 65 vw splitty microbus and a 65 356c Porsche. Spent many good years working on that stuff with my pops.

Does he live near Paso Robles? I saw one of those microbusses up there and it looked like it had just been driven off the showroom floor. Ran like a sewing machine.

Late to the Audi/vw talk... if you want a reliable Audi, you want an inline 5. I had a 20 valve turbo that was pumped and never had issues. That bottom end is bulletproof. There was an efi tuner, think his name was Javad Shadzi, he daily drove a 5 cylinder Audi with 700hp.

I’ll agree honky Kong, I loved the body on my type 3 notch.
Also had a 72 super with a CB performance 2332cc and Porsche 901 5 speed trans.

My family is into the air cooled vws and porsches. Dad still has a 65 vw splitty microbus and a 65 356c Porsche. Spent many good years working on that stuff with my pops.

I could. I flew another guys plane down to Romeo to buy a tailgate one time. His is quite a bit bigger though. We took an engine down to Indianapolis in his once also.

Waiting on a new CHT/EGT system and then throw the exhaust on. I need to check the magneto timing and take the fuel system apart and clean and inspect. It will be ready to fire this week.
