Polished aluminum T bars are a classic choice.

Old school rear decklid with scoop.
Rear fenders are wider than stock and ar fiberglass as is the engine lid.

a reported 190 horsepower!! Compare that to the 40 horsepower the car had when new!!

Here's a small chip in the paint on the bottom edge of the front apron...rest of the paint is excellent.

Nice and clean up here.
the contrasting access plates and fuel tank look ery nice against the blue body panels.

Straight and clean

Hood latch is quite clean as well.
Car was built to show as well as go.

Stainless braided breather line, chromes fuel cap looks awesome.

Wiring color in silver is a nice change from the normal black...fits the car much nicer that way.

which add a little creature comfort visually.

Full roll cage is impressively fitted...lots of fabrication work here.

Steering wheel is beautifully polished.

Monster tach with shift light and custom billet aluminum bracket that is fully polished.

Nicely painted and detailed and a well fit set of floor carpets add just a hint of civility to the
serious drag style interior

Excellent detailing everywhere you look...check out the door latches!

A little fun and color on the roof panel inside with sponsor style decals of those who provided parts

Check out the very nice full roll cage here...not your average bolt in off the shelf stuff...very nice work.

Nice.

Grab this round dealie, push that long thin pedal on the right and hold on for dear life!

Here's the Hot VWs article from 2004...nice spread.
Car has been driven very very minimally since completion and looks as fresh now as it did when the photos were taken.

For you numbers crunchers and serious gearheads...here's the detailed specs on the drivetrain.

Thanks to Hot VW's for putting it all down here...saved me a bit of typing that way!

The car even made the cover...

A truly unique car that is one serious ground pounder.
Very clean, very pretty and very fast.
Not a car for the weak of heart...youve got to be someone who likes a thrill.
