Thats my guess, but why the front wheel drive then.

Sorry, but no...

As you have asked the right question, all you need now is to find the answer.....

To be able to make this project work, the only way it will work is to have FWD. So here is a clue

You like this one hey Paul... But for personal heath, playing with carbs by means of a grinder, during driving, is highly unsafe.

What ever it is the size of those rectangular tubing you can build a Monster Truck out of them. Thats some serious stuff there Herman.

Well done Tony,

Yes it going to be a Flatbed Truck, but not a Tempo Matador

Any idea where I am going with this... Need to look at the parts list again....

So part of the beetle body would also be used.

Another clue: "Half of which I had to dump."

Dawie, you cooking with gas now, think you onto it.......

Here is photo of the basic chassis, welded and ready for front and back wheel assembly's,

before stiffening the chassis can begin.









You guys should be close now...

Parts list also mentions: "type 4 gearbox". Wich have hypoid offset, so diff cannot be flipped for reverse rotation. (And engine too long to fit forwards under beetle bonnet?)
Meaning engine still facing backwards, although mounted in front.
Maybe something like this?

Or this:

Although "Mc Fearsome" struts upper may interfere with seats.

maybe its a palletenwagen with rear wheel steering?

What have I done ????????".........to open this can ???
Haans

Like this with flat back?
