You need a Hasselhoff perm tbh.
Good god that's a terrifying picture! But yeah a perm is kinda essential ha ha

You must have spent a bloody fortune so far.. All this one step forward, two steps back would have seen me scrap it ages ago lol! Fair play for hanging in there.
Just read back, you're selling stuff???? Don't do it. Just be patient, save up the grand. Why get rid of things you'll only have to buy again?>!?!?!?!?!??!
More beetle pics required!
Great project mate, my all time favourite tv/movie car.
Superb thread too
Hi there, I know many people have expressed this already, but I want to commend you on a mammoth effort few would undertake.
When I was a kid, I adored Knight Rider. I pulled apart a tape decks buttons and attached them to my chopper bike so I could crudely emulate pursuit mode, KITT wouldn't talk back to me though lol
Now I recently bought a 1982 Trans Am and love the feel of the car despite its old age and mechanical problems I've had to deal with already. As much as I resist the temptation to relive my childhood dream of having my own KITT I find myself researching on the web and hence I came across this inspiring thread!
Sorry to hear about your most recent problems with the engine. I have had reservations with mine because it has been running rich as and reeks of fuel since I bought it. I have had to replace the vacuum hoses and plugs and now told my carb is toast. I was interested about your edelbrock carburetor because my mechanic has recommended putting in a 500cfm edelbrock, and it had not occurred to me I might have to change the dizzy. Luckily I can rip all the EGR stuff out in this country so I hope that's not a problem. I was thinking about putting in a edelbrock performer manifold to match.
But after reading about your experiences I am quite keen to save up for a 350 SB chevy crate engine, maybe brand new is the way forward.
What sucks about this country is no gullwing steering wheels, no red scanner lights, so at best I would have KITT replica with a scanner that I could hardly use.
It's looking like a KARR replica, he was pretty bad a** and the yellow scanner always appealed to me, and is still street legal here...
Anyway all the best with completing your KITT mate I hope your luck will make a change for the better!
Wee bug looks great, get a thread up for it too
The angle of the rear wheel of the Celica looks interesting!
You bought a Beetle as a cheap reliable run around? lol
The beetle developed huge engine issues
KITT's looking good these days, you sorted the engine issues?
