Micke's father Harry bought this Notcback in early 90's, some one had been
preparing it to Jokkis-racing (Finnish garbage-can racing class) but luckily
it was saved. Car was rusted around rear inner fenders and door openings,
Jere Tapio did all of the welding during off week-ends from the Finnish Army.
The engine is VW Type III 1500 with 86mm cylinders, actual displacement is
1603cc.
Interior is made of gray and yellow vinyl stripes on gray leather. Car has quite
heavy stereo system, 136 decibels have been measured.
Since Jere has involved in this project some carefully chosen accessories
have been fitted like EMPI glovebox pull, VDM steering wheel, wood-slat
roof rack.
At the VW Beach Party event in '97 this car won the Type III class and the
proud owner Micke (4 years old) got the trophy and got bit disappointed
since the prize did not include any candy :-)
