This VW Off-Roader was a project my father and I worked on over many years.
The goal was to get it race-ready for ORANZ. But when I left for Uni there was no time or money to finish it. In hindsight, a completed car would have been a better option. I had lots of enjoyment working on and driving this car.
I sold it in 2013 to move on to other goals and adventures. Hopefully, one day I will be able to race one of these.
The build was based on a 1960s VW Beetle running 5 stud wheels and a 1641 cc single port motor. When we got the car, the motor ran a dual-throat Webber carburettor. The carb was replaced with a PICT-3 to comply with the ORANZ rule book for Class C off-road racing. It runs an NZKW fixed bucket seat, and external oil cooler and was built from the ground up by my Father and me.
