:postpics:

hi to you!
just out of curiosity what car are you bulding 2 years already?
for a new guy you put up very little info on your project?!
wierd

lol im just a little shame about my car... has not the level of your cars... im just a dreamer trying to make it similar to the ones i look in the meetings like waterfest or h20...

but here are some pics :D

this is how it looks when i got it...




some changes has been going on... but everithing in the inside or vital parts...like the floor, rust elimination, fixing electronic issues, or like the engine I completly rebuild the engine, changin from diesel to 1.8 gas, with a 32/36 weber




the new engine died in the race track with pride lol




and now... rebuilded again... with more love...




and from the outside looks like this







yup... no bumpers... but soon im trying to get the black plastics form 70´s

nice to see a Pennsylvania car in CA :)

thx for your coments :thumbup:




why Pennsylvania ???? cause is a diesel ????

the car you have is a late westy (the grill and front clip)
westy = westmoreland pa. that is where they built these particular cars.

inside your driver side door the car should say where it was manufactured. correct me if i am wrong.....

:rolleyes:

look who's talking...

ORLY? ;)

thx for the coments... in the sticker doesnt says the fabrication plant.... mmm or i cant read :D

this is the sticker... recovered from 2 paints lol




an here is where it sits right now in my garage

Welcome, lose the fastfitters and try to make it as original as possible and slam it!

tell me if i am wrong but VW of America = Westmoreland PA car?

Yes, should be.
Sared's VIN explained :

1 VW GG 9 17 9 B V 086616

1 = USA
V = Volkswagen
W = Passenger Car (VW)
G = Body style
G = Diesel engine
17 = Golf 1
9 = Manufacturer's Internal Code
B = 1981
V = Westmoreland, PA. (USA)
086616 = s/n

info

lol didn knew that the only plant was in PA sorry... but im here to learn a bit :D :D

about the " fastfitters " im planing to restore the front end, cause is to messy, maybe on december ill get a used front end to welded on to my car, so i can chage it all and leave the hood clean and hot...

i was thinkin to use the actual hood for a rat style hood... makeit rusty... :D but when the car gets a full paint job

why do i think its totally nuts to see a PA car in El Salvador?

BTW the MODS need to change the location in sared's thread to C.A. NOT U.S.A.

.....just saying ;)

CA isn't a country

.... just saying

true :)

what's PA?
