|---|---|
| Frame | When pictured it was all original apart from r/h steer , but again as part of the current rebuild it is now being fitted with a full roll cage that also ties into the front beam and has had the Towd steering column/tow column removed as i have never used it and it now clashs with the new cage works and pedal cluster. |
| Engine | When pictured it was fitted with a 2lt Type4 Kombi Engine with a Sharpbuilt upright cooling system 1800 heads and a pair of 40mm IDF carbys but basicly stock , But again once rebuilt it is getting a 2387cc Type 1 built around a CB high top case with 044 oval port heads and 44mm IDF's.

| Story | This car was as far as we know bought to Australia by a US serviceman when transfered to Australia and for much of its life it was located over several different owners in the Forster/Tuncurry area of New South Wales which is where the previos owner (Kevin ) to myself found it in a shed just by chance this being approx 1996. At this time Kevin did a quick resto on it to the state pictured and he did quite a few trips in it up and down the East coast of Australia as far as Cape York for a 4 week adventure with myself and others and also frequently going to Stockton Sand Dunes near Newcastle NSW. In august 2003 i purchased the car off Kevin and continued to use it regually off road and beach trips until January 2005 when i took it off the road for what was then to be an approx 12 month rebuild but due to a career change and work commitments this has blown out till hopefully i will have it on the road for Easter 2008. |

| Story | When I got this car, it had a Water Cooled V-4 Saab Engine mated up to a VW Swing Axle Tranny. This car was a MESS! I took it down to the last nut and bolt in order to be sure all the "funny stuff" was dealt with. There was lots of "funny stuff". (Try wooden spacers in the front torsion springs where the Grub Nuts attach!). There was a Radiator located in the hood, and the coolant circulated through the tube frame! With the help of friends, this thing came together. So, thanks to those who shared of their time and talents. |
