Peter is doing it right, saving patina, saving the soul and spirit from this incredible 1957 Palm Green sand Green we found in the Swedish forests a couple of years ago…:)
BEFORE (how Peter bought it from us)
…and how it looks today, the body is almost completely finished!
Gogogo Peter and finish this beast, we can’t wait to see the result!

During our recent visit to our synchro ring and shift fork suppliers we made these evolution pictures.
This factory is absolute OE supplier and sold to Volkswagen en many other car brands for assembly line as well as aftermarket.
We import direct what is your best success on quality.
Because of the quantities we do we have the best prices on the market…
Shift forks are new to our product line and can be found HERE
Synchronizer rings we sell for long time and always used this supplier.
Because of the quantity we can offer these at really good prices.
Being made by the Original Equipment manufacturer, same as the shift forks above, we guarantee a perfect quality.
Brass parts start life in a foundry with next door a crazy BIG extruder. When we say BIG we mean BIG, we can state the brass extruder is the size of a house!
From there the brass is cut to rough dimension to be heated again to STAMP in a rough form. These forms will be CNC machined to perfection and to all standards of modern car manufacturers.
As this company works for all Car manufacturers they have a very strict picture policy.
So we hope you can enjoy these evolution pictures to understand this BBT product line.
We sell synchronizer rings for Beetle and Bus, you can find HERE

Hans, well known from running the BBT counter for over 10 years, started Speedshack when he left BBT.
Speedshack builds VW engines so Hans and BBT is an ongoing story.
Out of his research Hans gives us a lot of feedback.
Today he shares with us how easy you can obtain HP and torque with Auto Linea heads.
Hans said he took stock Auto Linea heads, gave the valve and seats a 3 angle cutting job. He left the ports untouched, modified the compression chambers slightly where he made them same diameter as the cylinder bore diameter and “unshroud” the valves.
These heads he combined with 90.05mm bore cylinders, stock crank and rods with a healthy 8.4/1 compression ratio, for a long engine life.
He used an Engle W100 cam with stock rockers and 2 x Weber 36mm IDF carbs set up with 30mm venturi on just a cheap EMPI hotdog exhaust.
The dyno results are pretty amazing as you can see from the screen above…
A whopping 97.8DinHp over a 145DinNm of torque.
This will be a fun engine to drive for sure!
