Here are some photos of our Bugs. My wife has a 1963 Beetle, renovated by myself and all the parts are reconditioned or new. The engine is a 1600cc and the car is converted to 12v. The gearbox was also renovated, with new gear ratios.
My Bug is a 1973 1303 with a 2332cc engine, Weber 48 IDA, Swedish cylinder heads from JPM (www.jpmotorsport.se) and dyno’d at 223bhp. The car is lowered and uses the front suspension and steering from a '75 Beetle. I hope you can find the space to publish a photo in the mag. I have bought VolksWorld for many years now and have every copy saved.
