Purchased 1978 in wedgewood blue Over the next 35 years I did everything except paint it, and the machine shop work. Ive probably only done 200 miles since completion and it still needs running in. I added: Overdrive on 3rd and 4th. Burr walnut bespoke dash. Electric fan. SS tuned manifold and exhaust. Spitfire reclining seats. oil cooler and spin on filter.
sorry, some have appeared upside down. The car was one of the first to be bead blasted in the early 80s and featured in some car magazine, current at the time.
During the many years of restoration, I moved house twice and had to pack it all up in boxes, changed jobs twice (one was a 200 mile move hence the car on the transporter) and did a degree at night classes.
I did consider all the options CSP Porsche etc, but none had the VDub look IMO, so it will be the Joe Cali school of DIY welding etc
Love the GT6, I briefly owned one back in thd mid 80s. It was great fun to drive but the chassis was a bit bent at the front which gave it some, errr, "interesting" handling characteristics when pressing on
Good man. I am doing a Cali job on a W code type 4 for my bug. I like the idea of keeping the original cooling flaps and thermostat. (and the original ish looking fan shroud..)
