Seabee turbo buggy build

Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

i remember driving through arizona once and i stopped at a 7/11 and this guy walks in with a big ass revolver tucked in his pants and i'm thinking " CHET THIS PLACE IS GETTING ROBBED" so i go to the check stand and tell the guy in a low voice the checker looks at me like i'm stupid and says " You're from california aren't you?" Ya you see a guy walk into a 7/11 here you better get out quick

No officer, I did not know you could see me from 15 miles away. It took you 10 minutes to get here? Welding helmet ? No officer I don't think people should drive with a welding helmet. Your eyes hurt too? Ok OK I will turn off my lights. You know I only had 2 lights on. The other 6 were off :twisted: . No , I don't think I have enough light yet. I was thinking of adding 2 side lights too. OK thank you for the warning officer. :mrgreen: Got to love the HID lights.

Came in late on this one.......VERY cool gun rack. :D
I wish the politicians and lawmakers would remove their heads from their bottoms here in Oz but then we're over legislated in every other area so why would guns be different. :?
Ask my bro, petew, what sort of engineering ceritification he had to get to road register his buggy.
Anyhow, cool lights too.

you might needa bit more grease in those CVs to amke sure they hold up the 400 hp.
give a man a watch and he'll allways know what time it is. give him two and he can never be sure again.

Things are rarely just crazy enough to work, but they're frequently just crazy enough to fail hilariously.

I don't always show my signature. But when I do, it's in this area.

Hay guys, I should have cleared that up. I picked up the engine from a dealer but the photo shows the engine that stuff is not mine.
