If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

Re: The ebay thread
I wouldn't mind that in a late 1303 so it's got McPherson struts and a rack to help handling, but if getting that involved I'd want ac & cruise as well...Sundayjumper wrote: Fri Feb 25, 2022 8:20 pm 1971 Beetle with a Subaru turbo engine. I bet that's.... "interesting" to drive ? Looks like they've done a nice job of it though.

Re: The ebay thread
Another engine swap - this time a BMW R1150RT engine into a 2CV, upping it from 30hp to 110hp 
And it looks almost totally stock from the outside.

Re: The ebay thread
I had a funny feeling that one looked familiar - it was at the same auction in November 2019, I was there.

Re: The ebay thread
I like that. Don't know why, but I do. A bit of Aston about the front.
