this vid is posted on a thread im watching... now that ive reached my friend in cali.. who by dumbluck is in pa till tues, have roughly 14 days to pull this together..
i hope by next weekend to have a few pics.. cali friend inspection so on.. and if crap works... maybe goto bonillie (sp??) car show in nov in cali... and bring home my next project... one of them there things in the vid.... rumor is 24 were sold... and imo.. the one that popped up needs to be a soot monster... :D
so hope life good... i can pull off the deal... as if so... mk1madness 2013 will be interesting... ill have it built for it.. just so i can have a kubvan and that there..
now if one of you orgon based freeks snipe this on me.. ill be pissed...
-
Wow. Looks like a Fiero kinda, but man it would be fun with a built Diesel in it. Also, IMHO 99% of cars should not be yellow.
-
Yellow cars need black stripes just like bumble bees.
I like CRS, Very original but I don't have time for fooling around with it. Have two jobs in two cities for a few more years then I can do what I want.

i remember these.... not from original but i have scene them haha, they are still fwd right?
-
Correct FWD, Use the Rabbit running gear to make it fly. My thought is, where is the roof on these things. CA only rig if that is the case. OR is way to wet for open bonnet styles.
-
There's an unassembled kit on Vortex. The seller seems pretty motivated. .

-
still in price negotions.. biggest issue is my cali friend in town here... not there due to issue with his mom..
roof... LOL.. bath tub in rain...
its not practicle for trips to store... camping... so on.. only a too and from roffed areas... but i still want it..
yellow = yuck...
lime green with neon blue neopream seats/matching wheels with polished lips... else pumpkin orange... no matter what it will be a im gettin stopped due to color...
-
CRS you after that Vortex offer? With about 25 being sold in US that makes it pretty special and perhaps a collectors piece. What kind of price are you talking here? Not the 5-600 special we saw from others getting "deals" on MK's.
-
im not saying... i know what he wants... i know what i have access to... ill tell price once its picked up... ill hate myself to loose it at last offers in negotiation... but it needs lots of work...
il have ~1k in fuel/tolls to go pick it up.. so that alone will drive overall price up...
hope to do bonelli vw show 2nd sat of nov (if i end up owning it)..... the idea is swing by san fran.. prep it to tow bar behind kubvan... aka new bearings/tires and such.. tow bar mount.. pull it to the vw show then head back to ohio...
this way ill have dec-april to do the body work/electrical.. then gut the rotted out 81 coupe to put it together with a simple 1.6na 5 speed.. bilstines and such... go change my color of car at dmv of my historical plates on the coupe (has no title/vin#s on it yet, have to go jump thru kit car bs, but based off my 81 coupe for doner)... call up my sweet insurance company the kubvan is thru.. add it onto that policy.. i expect it to be a nice 50-100/year much like the kubvan... just lower amount of value vs it.. ($10k is 139/year)
plain and simple.. if it got hit its dead... kubvan.. unless major t bone.. i can fix for less then stated value :D si ill value it at the cash payout of parts id loose + moneys invested in the build...
want to take it to mk1madness 2013 pulled behind kubvan.. so i can have both there for the show.. :D
-
How do they achieve structural rigidity without the rollbar? That has to be one heck of a kit! Pretty darn unique though!!
-
How does Mazda do it with their little zippers? Seems about the same as a Miata does it not?
-
its got tube frame to go with the fiberglass tub... the pee green on when googled has best pics ive seen... also found 2 pics with the spyder windshield set up... he has all the "options" like doors, rear packing tray, bumpers.. spyder windshield stuff..
just got back from taking my friend to airport.. so on way back tp cali soon... so now he needs to find the cash for my deposite.. then ill owe the balance on monthly payments... not how i prefer to do it.. but only way we came up with a price to keep us happy... so can still be snipped from me with full payment/more... ut at the moment i am the ill get it out of his way by the deadline.. just will owe him some coin.. guess my words inspire him.. :D
-
well tomarrow its supposed to be picked up... as long as all goes as expected...
so depending on time and such.. should have pics in a couple days... and ill tell the price...
next up... trip to san fran to get it... any one on the east coast wanna goto the

thoughts are goto san fran by the 7th of nov... prep jack rabbit for flat tow... take both kubvan and jack rabbit to show... drive back east... pulling it all the way home with the kubvan..
have room for 1 serious ride along... ill only charge you 1/4 fuel costs... on your own for food/lodging.. me camping in kubvan...
thoughts are drive 6hr.. take 6 hr break... so on... i cannot sleep much more then 3-4hr at a time... so eats, nap.. email.. drive type of thing... but can be modded so the places to see can be hit on the break times too...
-
well its owned... ;D $800... $500 at time of pick up... 50/mo for 6 mo after that... yes i really did not have cash to own it... i felt 500 was fair ill get it off your property in time... ill have 1k+ in getting it home... so whats another 300 right?? that was po idea..
so yes orcoaster... i did treat it like some pos rusted out mk1... sadly giving yourself -30 days to sell a car... bad idea... whats worse... us east coast want more then west....
will be at mk1 madness 2013... may not be finished/painted... but will be drivable.. 1.6na 5 speed... ill tow bar it to the show... so i can have a kubvan and this there.. so TREV better come ask for a ride at min... 2013 buddy.. you will make face time...

. 1.6na??? I dunno man u will need more than that to attract my attention! ;)
-
for something i can see being "driven" maybe 2k a year... 1.6na is not a "waste" vs say building a 2nd tdi-m for say my b3 wagon... reality is no real road trips or long distance due to rain factor... the "real" miles it will see most would be towbar situation... like taking to mk1madness... id assume it to be a car that 5 gal of fuel is most of the summer... its not that dry here...
now do not get me wrong.. would be much more fun with turbo or something... just cannot justify a $2-3k tdi set up.. my 84 or b3 deserve it more.. can drive those 365...
-
i think with 500 pounds less weight it should still be fun especially with a little extra fuel and governor mod

AWESOME. I would diesel auto cross this thing.

Well look at you son, gettin' all that fancy cool-lookin' rarity. That's a real lucky find there! Makes me think of a Bricklin, except it's a VW. I got a 1.6 NA pump of you want it if you find a motor without one. Hell just tell me and I'll do my best to throw any of my small parts cache at you because I want to see this DONE!! :o
Not the AAZ tho. :P
And I'm punching Trevor if he doesn't get out of the seat after his turn, because I'm getting a ride after him! ;D
-
if you were not 15 mike... id let you drive it... but my insurance ill have on it says 23 min... and if age no issue... gotta be 5'7" which is what? 1ft or so taller then you :D but seriously.. you not going to reach pedals... tiime to make cookies yet??
see if you visit more often would not be all in 1 post... your such a good sport...
drivers pad/seat will be formed for my height/length of legs.. its not "adjustable" as its pads velcroed to fiberglass...
if all else fails... we pull you behind kubvan w/towbar..
may have to take you up on the pump... i have a nice 11mm 1.6 in storage... no pump.. looking at how complete it is... i may not discect my 81 coupe to build it... some cheap coils..
auto x.... sadly no roof... since the fiberglass dash/winshield pillers are modded for speedster glass... the "roll bar" has to be cut too... so i doubt it would be allowed..
i find the "trunk lid" to be a nice addition... instrument cluster w/radio delete and gauge holes.. sweet... mk1 rocco steering wheel.. sweet.. :P

Oh you joking cad. ::) I was just talking about a ride-along really. I know I've got those little dachshund legs and I figured the car was designed for folks bigger than oompa loompas. I'll just be glad to see another of your madcap projects. You know I'm all about the tech! 8)

W/e, just don't accelerate do much, if you know what I mean.

Sore, go ahead, just needs re-sealing.
You can even have the GP 4-speed. See, I'm offering YOU transmissions now! :P
But srsly hit me up if you need stuff.
-
Im an hour and a half south of SF if you need to cool down or stop for a burrito on the way.
-
may have too... you going to visit the show at all?
-
this should help you reach the pedals, it looks adjustable too so you can grow into it

Like in a "it's very far away" way or a "they should saw it off and let it float into the ocean as an island nation" kind of way?
-
float into the ocean

float into the ocean
Thought so; just clarifying. ;D

Nice find there fella, Color should not be Yellow. What is your choice there? And rims, ahh gotta get some rims.
-
i wanted to do piss green.... then i found pics of the one :( stole my color
planned seat foam wheels in a neonish blue.. polish lips...
orange works with trim color... :P
thinking 14" castlets... polished up.. i have a set w center caps even... a set of funch's id like to see how they look on it... aka old 911 wheels...
id rock a 2nd set of phone dials... i could do a higher off set in back, give it ~25mm more lip then up front... to fool you to think it a dune buggy... need to do this with funch's imo... just still not found a 2nd set of dials for 100 yet (how much i had in my inital 4.. the 5th was 100 alone needed spare for kubvan).. much less funch's
-
OK, so you were never an art student then. Just get a color wheel and a spinning arrow and say "God awful body color" and spin the arrow. Then say "seat color to match" and spin it. continue with trim color, pin strip and rear tail color.
When you come away with the army green, with lavendar seats, aqua trim and orange tail plate don't ask who painted that. Take pride my man. It will be a keeper anyway you do it up. Waiting for next years pics for an update.
