1973 V8 Super Beetle Front Engine Conversion - 283 SBC

I bought them from Summit Racing, but I'm sure you can get them from many places. The brand name is AutoLoc. Style is snake eye with turn signal.

Well, it's getting there. I've been putting in some time lately. I fixed my starter issue and pulled her out for a much needed wash. I also fixed my tranny leak, hopefully. It was leaking around the speedo and the shifter linkage. I still need to add fluid to find out.

I finished the carpet and I'm almost finished wiring the car. I need to wiring up the tach, gauge lights, and install my brakes switch into the brake lines.

Here are some overdue pictures.

A better shot of the head lights with turn signals. The turn signals light up pretty good with the lights on. I took it for a night testing to see how the lighting does.






Carpet installed, dash, gauges, seats bolted in, belts bolted in, and roll cage padding.












Not a whole lot to do. Just minor things. I still need to put a good tune on it and extend the exhaust out the back. Then I'm going to drive the **** out of it. Haha
