This project I started in 2005 and today is almost finished
taking information about what was the car, I made a number of changes, ranging from the engine to the suspension, adding disc brakes on all four wheels with dual circuit hydraulic brake and clutch system, including replica made ​​in pantograph wiper
I must add that all the work done for me is made ​​by hand and in my small workshop at home

amazing, looks really clean
i'm also looking into swapping the engine on my fiat 600. I feel it would be a lot more fun if it had more power the original engine has a real lack of it what type of vw transmission is this? and does it fit or do you need to make some adjustements to the body of the car?

thx for replying
philippe
