A little update seems in order. we mounted the body on the chassis and is currently fiddling with all the small bits doors and windows are in
the to do list becomes smaller
we still need to do the upholstery (seats and door panels)
wheels and tyres
side trim and running boards
connect every thing

Well done Armand,

A definite One of a kind, beetle

You have blended the year parts in so well, that it looks to be factory fitter.

Enjoy the ride,
