aurfalien Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Ooh, diesel engine! I can see buying one of these at some point to make a race car... then a beater one in roller brown. Like this one; http://www.abdracing.com/project/pickup/index.html Notice the front wheels/tires are thicker then the back for more grip. This thing is wicked!

Aaronw Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 and here I was waffling about paying an extra few bucks for the RoG GTI... Definitely going to have to get one of these, my wife just got a job so I'll take that as a sign that I do in fact need this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 THANKS Jonathan for showing this transkit! Now, i have to order one and the Revell-GTI-kit ( <- i never wanted till yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbvwfanatic Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Clearly scale just came out with these. Perfect timing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurfalien Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Yep for sure. To make em more racy one can forgo the carb/filter piece and use a stand alone Weber like from HRM or Scale Auto etc... Or cut off the flter and make some venturies. Still if I got this kit I'd make it like the ABD racing version; "Silver Mullet".Here is a cool article about it with a cool interior pic;http://www.vwvortex.com/news/find-of-the-day/find-of-the-day-1980-volkswagen-rabbit-truck-dragster/ Edited October 9, 2015 by aurfalien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Jon Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Clearly scale just came out with these. Perfect timing... Thanks Scott both versions of my 16V DOHC engine, Webers and EFI ITBs are available now on clearlyscale.com Just a note, Chris's Caddy is based on the new Revell Golf chassis, which my 16V engines (and all coming H2O VW engine sets) are designed to fit directly into, with only mild shifter link modification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
