what size motor?
back in the day, I was quite the VW mech, had a Baja Bug (made it that after I wrecked it one night) in HS and a Vert in college...love VW's, ran an 1835 cc with Dual Dell's and wide open exhaust - that Baja Bug hauled ass with the power to weight ratio I had in it...
Sold my Vert a few years back, that was a sad day...loved that car!

Meyers Manx Signature Series, #41 of 100, built in 2003. It has VW sq. tube chassis with a fiberglass pan, a 1915cc engine with dual Webbers, engine cam & 44 heads! In addition, it features new parts, including block, dual oil coolers, Beard super seats, VDO gauges, 4 wheel disc brakes/aircraft brake lines, adjustable front beam & skid plates. It has a hard top which contains a rack, tip down dash, super dune IRS transaxle with close ratio gears, Porsche 930 flanges, & CVC joints!
The builder was Bruce Meyers nephew, not that that means dickie doo, but it is nicely put together. I haven't run it much since buying it.
