seen pics of them driving around, but think it's purely a show weapon.

I saw an interior a pic, you must just have to pretty much lie down in it... couldn't be legal for road use an even if it was, fook having a prang in it!

Never mind crashing it, i'd be more worried about being penetrated by a cats eye through the floor :shocked:

 :grin:  Imagine hitting a real cat, rabbit or similar in it then.  :shocked:

Always slightly worrying to get down


jacking point on and cleaned up



Random hole for pedals needed welding up


Cut out


and welded up = 1 finished floor!

Haha beers a no go! The workshops about 20 miles from home and in the middle of nowhere on a farm!

Yeah it's good to have it done and you think it's half the job done now.......... Ish.

This weekend can't come quick enough! Getting the shell prepped for fixing!

Really can't wait to see the shell coming together, will really start taking shape then.. If where you work on it is in the middle of nowhere, Fill fridge with beer, work on car over the weekend and kip in tents at night.  :grin:

Just noticed this. :afro: spent many months welding floor pans, heater channels and closing it all up before just leaving the projects because of running out of money twice. :sad:. Soon learnt to weld doing that!

Always wanted to get a beetle on the road after switching to watercooled as they were already working. Gonna keep an eye on this.

Ive done beam adjusters before but the ones i used, you had to cut the whole section out to weld the adjuster in. What's the extension piece do on the front of the frame head?

Yeah man should be Sunday going down. Could possibly need a hand lining the shell up and stuff. Will be cool to see you.

T-shirt - it is just that! It extends the length of the car about 10 inches and also lowers by an inch and a half. Because this is going for the hot rod sort of look it won't have arches on it.

I am really really excited about the next stage!!!
