mklotz70 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I had a 71 521 and mend is a 72. After 72 you're on your own :) Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Lowered and rebuilt suspension, disk brakes, and a mean engine with "banded" (widened stock wheels), a lot of vw guys do this, keeping the patina paint = a really nice sleeper. Nice wagon! It will cut the cost down, and save time for other projects. Quote Link to comment

denveratsun Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 hey man...what the heck? My 521 wants to play too...it's a '71!!! Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Look what finally made it into the shop! fresh fluids & battery, id bet it starts on the second try! Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Sweet deal, Bob! I picked up her identical twin in SoCal this past weekend for a buddy of mine... That makes 3 red 67 goons between the 2 of us! Here's a little inspiration if needed: Right now, her motor is out, getting poked & stroked to 2000cc, I'm detailing the engine bay, cleaning the undecarriage, rebuilding the front end, and then the body is taking off for a little refreshing before a fresh coat of paint.

ppeters914 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 My wife :angel: just named the 411. She said that 411 is the number for information, the original owner was a woman, so why not call it . . . . . "Miss Information":excl: What do you think of that? :) Hahahaha! Most excellent. My wife calls mine "that blue piece of $h!t." Pete '66 411 wagon Quote Link to comment

ppeters914 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Thats not a 5 speed tranny in the back is it? I am wanting to find a 5 speed that will fit my 411 SSS. I cant stand top speed of 55 when everyone around me is going 75-80 at work... Probably a 4-speed considering it has a J13. There's no reason you can't hit 90 with the stock 4 speed and R16 engine.

denveratsun Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 UUUUmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....yeah....thats inspiration all right. :blink: DDDaaayyyyyaaaaammmmmm is right!

AZhitman Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Correction: My WIFE drives it... it's her favorite. :) Thanks! Hopefully I'll have some leftovers from the restoration I can pass along. Quote Link to comment
Bisquick 246 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 And how can I free up some horses to get 90? Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I don't want to thread jack Bob's kickass build thread, but the R16, tuned properly, should be around 90. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I don't want to thread jack Bob's kickass build thread, but the R16, tuned properly, should be around 90. Absolutely! I used to cruise between Los Angeles and San Jose on Interstate 5 with my RL411 and BW automatic at an easy 85MPH [just don't tell the CHP]. With 4 on the floor you should easily do 90, I only did that to pass, not constant cruise. Quote Link to comment
