picture of my new speedster and custom trailer

This is my new speedster, i purchased it from original owner here on the boards last month.

I just rebuilt the carbs and its driving but needs some tuning.

I had the trailer custom built by a local friend. IT has custom axle that is really low trailer for easy loading of the car. Then you might notice that i also have the hubs tapped for the 5x130 Fuchs wheels bolt pattern to mount some matching fuchs wheels. The trailer is very light and works perfect..


Anyways, just wanted to share. I will be posting alot more questions on here now that i finally have my first speedster.

Cory - COOl Set-up! Nice detail with the Fuchs - however, you might want to consider meat cleaver rims (see Cory Drake thread).LOL

BTW - with the Speedster loaded on the trailer, what is the tongue weight of the trailer (for future reference)?

Thanks for sharing that pic (and complicating my life with another item I HAVE to add to my "Wish List").

Peace - Out!

I do believe the speedster would look much better on the ground....

...actually, it would look much better with ME and Jenna Jamison in it (whoever SHE is!).

Jim, do you kiss your wife with that mouth?

Congratulations!
I have to agree with Jim and Vince -- despite Jim already wanting some weighty tongue with the trailer -- I hope it doesn't spend a whole lot of time up there.
I really like the yellow treatment on the car, too, especially with the flared body. Is it paint, or Gelcoat?

would you buy a trailer to haul your VW around....

Car looks great! Congrats Cory!

Great looking car and trailer.

Is this a great country or what???? Who else in the world gets to have this much fun?

The car was finally off the trailer yesterday and i drove it all day today! What a joy. They turn so sharp. I posted another thread about it seeming to run out of power when higher in the RPMs.


It is so fun to drive.. Its weird how everyone stares.. I had a 21 year old yell at me from the truck in front of me to ask me what kind of car it is..

Its paint, i am having a friend who paints check it out this weekend to respray it this winter. Its been painted for 8 years and there are runs in the paint.

The funny story about the trailer is that i originally had it built for the first speedster kit i bought that was going to spend alot of time on the trailer being hauled from place to place to be completed. Once i got that speedster i decided i would never finish it so i resold it on ebay.

Then as i came back on this website to post that i had sold the car i noticed this yellow for sale so i bought it.. I had already paid for the trailer. Shipping quotes were around $1000 to have it delivered so i loaded it up and went and got it!!

It also will serve dual purpose for my rabbit in the background going to the track.

I dont know the weight of trailer with car.

Trailers , I have new brand new trailers available !
