@64vauxhallYOU SEEN THIS?? https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/volkswagen/auction-1550073395.htm?rsqid=11e2e55d5e1f4011a3f0239a28a9966a Thought the doors etc may be of some use?

Oh. Oh shit. Fingers crossed mate.

yeah!!! this thing is gun be super bad ass!!

Ah rear engined cars! what a silly/awesome idea. can't wait to see what you two do with this wee gem!

Possibly, but wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the cert system? I did try to get the chassis number changed, no dice! Lol. Would have to be same for same in that case I would imagine.

X2 and the direction is down. Keen to see more.

Numbers don't match, questions asked. Dun dun dun. Stupid though, can't be many 55 year old cars with og engines anymore.

both places did check the numbers, first was a dick(just doing his job, I know) and would not wof it, second guy was a GC gave me the wof, but said sweet car but don't bring it back.

wof man told me I need a LVV for the bug as a 1600 is 20% larger in size than the 1200 the car came with.

Sup folks! still rolling this pile daily. been out to a few shows C&C, Kumeu the other day, even made it to Auckland Burgermeet!Actual Update Material! Got some new rear tyres for xmas, as the others where 15 years old and bald as fuck.actually slid out on me in the dry once!Fancy Pirelli and everything, heaps of grips, just like a F1 car mate!The guys at Lincoln Tyres sold them to me at a better price than shitty firehawks etc..making the most of summer!!rollin rollin rollin...

I take it you haven't driven many 50 year old bugs lately then?? Excellent information Clint, thanks very much.

would it ever be possible to convert a bug to Rack and Pinion? somethin like this? steering shaft would have to be shortened, universal joint added, tie rods cut to length and gas tank clearanced. the biggest issue would be the mount for a suitable unit, no weldy weldly?? chur.

Chur OldSchool.ng, nice night for a drive and chat to other car nuts.

Did I see this beast in the swapmeet area on the weekend?

this thing is Awesome! keen as to break my neck! was just trying to be funny, carry on.

This thing is so fucking stupid and dangerous, only a complete friggin idiot with a death wish would try to build and ride such a machine, I love it! !!!

This was funny, a old mate of mine had one of these back in thae day, his name was Josh as well. Truck was running a modern Toyota diesel engine?

Fucken rippa!

plan on going early satdee morning and staying for the day, kinda glad it won't be 1 million degrees!

You slick Scandinavian bastard.
