Germanlook VW “Greenie”
After many late night conversations with a good friend Adam, I was finally convinced that it was time to buy another VW. The plan was to build a German Look Beetle with exceptional handling, braking and most importantly powered by an IDA fed Type 4 motor. The hunt for a donor car was on and soon over after I purchased an unfinished track car project. The car was transported from Sydney NSW shortly thereafter. Further mentoring from another friend Rod ensured a plan was devised to build a nostalgic road registered race car.
