So I started my very own GL project last december, and as I have made a couple improvements I have decided to post them here. It aint gonna have expensive porsche brakes or a type iv engine, this one is budget-friendly, at least on it's first stage. It is inteded to be a daily driver, to take me to medschool basically, so it must be as reliable as possible, and it's gotta keep up with modern cars, in terms of performance, and it is not intended for racing.
The base is a 1990 Mexi bug, ball joint front, swingaxle rear, drums all around, DP 1600cc 46hp engine, electronic ignition.
What has been done so far:
Racing Seats, front and rear disc brakes, with 28mm solid rotors, two pot calipers front, one pot calipers with ebrake rear. Dropped spindles front, lowered 2 splines rear, 3/4 front swaybar, CB camber compensator, sports steering wheel and pedals, basic audio system, shaving of most chromes, and the vents behind rear side window. Oh, and it's also got a carPC
What's still left: Gas shocks, 1904cc engine (~145hp), 17'' wheels, 205-45-17 HP tires, exterior and interior details, nice audio system.
