By the time you make it crash test at a modern standard, you'll have added several hundred pounds, and have triple the number of parts,p!us 2 computers.
The aircooled, 40 hp masterpiece of engineering cannot meet emissions standards, and, compared to VW's current engines, is bog slow with poor mileage.
My family has owned VW'S since 1956, Mom and sister have Jettas. My friends have raced them, Dad built a homemade buggy from our '60 Bug.
