Hay all, whats been going on?

Post by seabeebuggy »

Well, I sold the turbo buggy. It was just not used but I did get a really good price for her. I still have a 69 bug I have not driven since 1989 She is now
the focus of the fun money. Since I have been gone for so long I need to see if anything is new. I need to learn about the EFI stuff.

IM not sure where to start the build. Mario, I need a lot of stuff LOL. I guess before I do the engine I should redo the car. Wires and brakes first. Mario. it is a 69 4 lug IRS. I want disk on all 4, what do I need? 100% new everything except maybe the hard lines.

Lets face it, I forgot so much, My buggy never broke. it was still in great shape. but engine, I want a setup to punch me back in the seat. turbo or NA, 100% EFI but I don't want to dump 10k into a CBP type setup if I can avoid it. I still have guns I want to get too. LOL Ideas are welcome.

Its good to get a plan before you start making mistakes! What is it going to be used for as that can make a difference to the plan of attack.
