The Ford Volkswagen Page
In The Beginning...
This is my baby.  She's a 1960 type1 standard body on a 1968 pan.  All of the work you see was done by me with the exception of building the motor and painting the body.  Mods are below and in the future I'm planning a tube front and rear subframe housing a  Turbo VR6 and transaxle from a 2002 model (201 hp w/o turbo))and custom A-arms up front with coilovers all the way around.  It is rather abmitious but I have a lead foot and I'm tired of maintaining 1940's technology.  Planning takes a lot of time!
