Wow!  An el camino vw!,  do it

I have not seen it in the flesh, so I have no idea of the rust.
It is reasonable and I have the spare universal bus engine with the T3 dipstick plate...
I thought this would be a great beater to go and get VW engines and parts in or take junk to swap meets.
After having seen this one I was thinking that they should have made an extended cab version and just moved it back to behind the rear seat.
I am supposed to see it tomorrow or this weekend and then I will have more to report.

This is going to happen.
I have just bought a complete T3 engine for parts.
I should be getting it this weekend or the next.
It is a 4 lug suspension and a '65 body.
There is rust in the floor boards, not horrible but pretty bad.
Bed is surprisingly mostly rust free.
I have driven by the house that this thing sits behind litterally a 1000 times and never saw it (just over a crest in the yard).
I am thinking a bench seat in front and the Rivis.  I am thinking raise it up and put some taller BFG's or something on it, maybe open up the fenders and flare them...

You talking this thing?

Been awhile...
Any Who - I woke up the 1776 SP in the Ghia with a set of Kadrons sourced from Alvin and an OEM uncut steel Kadron SP intake that I have been hording for years.  Also put on an equal distant header Header is a 1.75" 4 into 1 with dual Quiet Packs that exit just under the tail lights. Running J pipes that are also 1.75"

Finished tuning the Carbs and WOW what a difference. Lots of power, but I can tell the mains are too small.  Going to pull them and upsize from the stash I have. Right now when going up a steep hill the car surges under load and floored.

As a side note, I am wondering if the trans is going to take it, I am purring and shifting right at 45 into 3rd and ~65 when I hit 4th and still pulling.

The wicked exhaust leak I have will need to be dealt with and upsize the main jet before I take it out of the neighborhood (yes I can get to 70 in my neighborhood...), but all in all this thing is a different beast now.
Jenny and me are like peas and carrots....

Great shot! I will accept it as a submission for the 2015 calendar.

Last night on the way home from the light show at Camp Jordan I started having some clanking noises from the passenger rear tire every time I would dissing gauge and reengage the clutch I heard a clank, I say to myself this can't be good. When I return home I checked and all but two of the bolts holding the rear CV into the stub axleI was lucky the previous owner did not put the lug locks on

Have a nice vacation! See you soon!!!!


Amazingly enough, ASBUG was a passig character in my dream last night. While I was driving down the street, again- in a dream, I see KC pull out from a side street in a non-descript sedan from the early ninties. I would guess a Lumina or a Buick LeSabre. It was a silver at one point and grayish primer elsewhere with patches of surface rust showing through. I thought, in my dream, "Hey! There's KC! He either has fallen off the wagen or he can't fit all of those girls in an old bug!"
