Original 1958 VW
Thursday, April 26th, 2007
This is a picture of my car before I started the project. Some times I wish I left the car alone. In retrospect, the car looks pretty mean on the streets of Brooklyn. Nobody could easily guess it only had a 36hp engine in the rear. I expect to have this project completed by the mid-summer of 2007 complete with a 2000cc type 4 engine.
I can’t figure out why there isn’t any suppliers of Volkswagen Type 4 conversion parts in the USA. This exaust system is designed by Remmel in Europe and widely used there. If you want to order one of these, you’ll have to pay a hefty price on the system and the cough up cash to pay for shipping which is not cheap. With Jake Raby on the East Coast, I thought he would have designed something by now or had some type of relationship with Remmel. Jake, if you can hear me, please help! Oh well, if any one knows how I can get this, please comment. I want my Sleeper to have a stock looking exhaust system that fits through the standard exhaust cut outs.
