VW Bug Type-1, Subaru STi Powered (1of2) Restoration 

As someone who has built and owned both Subaru's and VW's... This is the best of both worlds, in one car.

This bug inspired me to build my own! Thank you! Took mines 8 years!!!

Living my dream bro. Beautifully done. I still follow Mark Gonzales to this day. My 68 will love this swap

For me, its a very proper build and also very neat man. Love your work!

Amazing build

Wow! One of the cleanest conversions I have seen yet! Trying to figure out why you would sell it after all that work!!!

Awesome build btw! I have one myself with a gtx28 :P

That's a nice build

My inspiration to build mines!

Doing this to an old Porsche 912 would be interesting

Funny that the video uses music from Powell Peralta Animal Chin movie I watched that movie so many times

What trans is in this thing? I know most guys run a modded bus trans, but I've seen the SubaruGears reverse R&P/2WD trans kit for about the same price as adapting the VW trans. I'm doing the n/aEJ25 in a '74SB. I'll use the Subaru trans, since I believe it will be more than beefy enough to handle north of 200hp in a car roughly half the weight of the donor car. Anyway, I hope all you guys are making progress out yours! I'm in the middle of an Isuzu rebuild at the moment. Toy/tow rig first.

Did you make the glove box switch panel???? I have been looking for one and cannot find one to buy anywhere

Did you do anything special to prevent cracking the oil pan on anything? I know that the engine sits pretty low in these swapped Beetles so I imagine that becomes and issue when you combine that with sport suspension.

Awesome build man, with the swing axle what VSS did you use and how?

This is nice.

What gearbox do u have in the beetle?

Equal length or unequal headers?

Very nice choices for your upgrades. How much did this project cost?

That almost makes me want to subi swap my sand rail!!!

Awesome

Thumbs Up!

Hi, good night, don't you know who did the car work? Thank you

at 37 seconds there is a picture of Animal Chen I didn't recognize the music was from the movie

So how much did this cost around 10k?

Guys - beautiful job! Is this awd or rwd? Also , no speedo?

Sweet ride man.. I thought the black and white VW was sick. The 2.0 version is better . Nice work

Wow

I live in pitts, kind of want to do this swap. Don't want to pay millions and want someone to do it. Does anyone know who around Pitts does this. I have a custom chop and drop 66 beetle.

yes Animal Chen baby
