Yes it is. i gave it to Matt for the weekend as his beautiful 11 window was not finished. He drove it to Carribean gardens, I think thats where you mean. I am in Paris and have not seen it personally but i agree, it does look a little taller, not sure if the 18's change the height for starters, I may lower it more when I am home.

Yep, I was in that cruise and it is a nice unit. Sounds like you are doing it tough if you over there in Paris, but I suppose some one has to be there.

Last I heard he had a power punching 1500 in it. Still pushed it along but.

Thats correct, it still has its original engine in it. i drive it to Phillip island a fair bit and although I love having it down there, the drive is a bit of a pain. I am told that Dean at Volkspower may have put a rebuilt 1600 in it for me while I have been away so i hope that is the case. I have a few 356 motors one of which will eventually reside in the rear of this twin when it is restored.
