Volks Beetle Modification

[Dudee]

I would get a pre-1974 German car if I don't have one already. I'd keep the body stock...
change the wheels to EMPI style wheels
replace the fronts with disc brakes from a Super Beetle or get the replacement kits
Rebuild the engine, put in a modern alternator to replace the generator, get new Weber carbs, or better yet if you have the funds, get 2.0 or 2.2L rebuilt engines from the US
Rebuild the tranny if necessary
Check and fix the electricals, rewire, replace the fuses with the modern type
Get all accessories working - wipers, washers, gauges
Drain and clean fuel tank
Body repair and repaint
Replace rubber seals, running board, moldings, chromes, emblems, etc. if necessary
Reupholster
Decent stereo
Air conditioning

This is great advice

change the wheels to EMPI style wheels - ... what's EMPI tires?

replace the fronts with disc brakes from a Super Beetle or get the replacement kits - pwede ba?

get 2.0 or 2.2L rebuilt engines from the US - kasya ba sa engine bay?

Replace running board, moldings, chromes, emblems - can we still find these stuffs?

www.vwcp.org will have some shop recommendations. EMPI wheels = rims, not tires.

Drum to disc - yes puwede. Kailangan lang sabay sa rims, kasi baka ang makuha mo is 5 hole, pero 4 hole lang yung luma. May kit na nabibili $300.

2.2L may konting mod sa firewall.

Chrome and mga abubot - meron yan kalat kalat lang. Naka kuha pa ako nung "VOLKSWAGEN" na sulat sa likod two years ago. Kaso ninakaw ulit. Meron din sa Internet.
