71 Bug Beotch

[DelSlow]

Iv had a 71 Bug for a while now, got it for around 200 from a guy i know in enderlin. and i was just woundering if theres any way that you guys know of to boost up the power of this thing a lil bit so that my lawnmower serisouly doesnt have more HP than it. Thinking maybe of getting a paintjob on it too, any good sugest?

im SURE sls has a turbo kit for 71 Bugs...rihgt? lol

on the last full throttle the did up th old bug it was pimp. the put in a race motor and new trans.

[DelSlow]

dude the bug is pimp, all orginal parts, cept for dual exast. original ORANGE paint...ya. I do think with 160K miles that thing is im great condition..cept im missing a window roller handle..and i cant take one off of a bug at the 7th AVe Salvage cuz tehy are "restoring" it even tho its been sitting there for over 2 years.

[out there]

look around on ebay, or google for turbo kits for old bugs

Hell if you want ill buy that hoss off of ya lol... I need a winter beater/work car and without a rear seat or passenger seat that fucker would fit my work tools perfect. If you would honestly sell it drop me a line.

[DelSlow]

Those things are starting to gain in vaule nowadays. i dunno...how much you willing to go with, i love it sooo

[Flowcus]

Eh it depends on condition and what not... bugs are everywhere lol... Most are fully restored and out of my price range. Have any pics of the little thing?

another bonus about the aircooled bug, if you blow the motor the magnesium engine block works great for creating the hottest bonfire you have ever seen. It will take forever to ignite, but when it does, I suggest a welding helmet...its BRIGHT! Only reason I know this is because I saw it happen at a party near the Red Mike golf course near Williston about 10 years ago......you don't forget that type of useless info.

[DelSlow]

Ill get some pics up. Its not restored. Its just in perfect condiction from sitting in a garage for 30 years lol

They don't make the best winter car. the heat situation isn't the greatest seeing as how its air cooled and all. Sure it's got heat but not alot.

Im not to worried about heat... ill just wear my coveralls since I wear them most the winter at work anyway... I just need a decent Daily driver/work car.
