nice project, a little advice if you might get an EJ20TT engine as opposed to an EJ20T . NEVER buy a TT without this part, it's where all the pressure solenoids are for the TT system to work and you will never be able to get it to run properly without it.

thanks for the advise tom, ill keep that in mind. this type of info should go on the suby convert thread too.

Well i may have a little problem, hes telling me that the title he has is for the body and not the pan, as far i i know cars are reg'ed by the chassis and not the body..

That's how most MexiBeetles get through to the states. Check with California (I notice you spell it with a "K" ), though. I used to not consider any car from Georgia because they don't have titles at all. That changed when one day I was at the DMV on other business and asked about titling a car that came without a title. Maryland's process isn't too bad; annoying but compared to other hoops they like to lay out for other things, not too bad at all. Perhaps you will find good luck ahead.

My '64 Ghia is titled as a '74 I just removed the tag on the body. Maybe you can take and stamp a peice of metal with the body's numbers and put it under the rear seat.

I know this is not EXACTLY along the same line... We just received a cabriolet at work that needs work, and a seperate chassis(no floor pans and rotted to hell on the 'head' of the chassis. So basically it's getting chopped into useful bits and the rest is going to the dump). The owner asked to cut out the piece on the chassis where the numbers are stamped(close to the back of the center channel), so that he can cut out the same place on the other chassis he has got and re-weld this one in it's place. Why is he doing that? Well, I guess it is to keep the car and papers 'legit', and register the car as the same year/model etc etc....
