20B Europa anyone?

I LIKE IT! Hope it's not a repost but DANG!

Yeah, it's a repost, but it's been awhile and worthy of a second look.

I missed it the first time. I like it a lot!

It's amazing how similar his choices are to what I am doing with my Europa, except for the rotary, and a mild difference in skill level! But I went down exactly the same paths with design choices.

I am, however, doing it for $20XX!

Any rotary gurus want to help me make the switch? I like the rotary choice.

I know Kennedy Engineering makes adapter plates to mate 13/20B's to transaxles. Althought iirc it's only for VW/Porsche axles. They do make custom ones as well, but that's not $20XX friendly unfortunately.

I've go an AC VW engine/trans that's been sitting out next to the shed if someone needs it. hint hint

Good God... That's beautiful.

Thanks for the free bump Dan!

Yeah, I'll hook someone up - '72 Europa TC including the original Twin Cam engine(worth well over $1k complete and non-running), a Brand-New frame, Brand New windshield, good seats & bumpers, and a spare(stronger than stock) transmission.

Not only would I hit it, I'd put a ring on it, and happily put up with it's B.S. and it's overbearing, annoying mother.

Who'd like to take a guess what they did for hubs/ knuckles/ spindles/ brakes/ etc?

Those 5 lug hubs didn't come with a Europa.

It's got a Subie trans, so logic would say Subie half-shafts, and therefore hubs. But the fronts and rears appear to match, and it seems like there'd be a lot of fabrication to use Subie spindles all around.

In reply to SVreX:

I'm betting RX-7 bits were used a lot.

That's hideous. The color combination reminds me of this:

I'd like to attend my 30th reunion in that, with lots of jewelry, feather in the hat, plenty of Polyester. Jump out and say "Now which one of you mofos said I wasn't gonna be a success?"
