Before you ask why call it "The Black Sheila" believe you me get the wife to name the car and she will feel part of the project and give her blessing on a bigger spending budget

As mentioned before I had a dream of building a speedster for more than twenty years, last year April 2013 I decided that the time has come to kick start the long awaited dream.
I looked around for many months and finally got an ideal VW Beetle donor car, then contacted Universal products to see if they could build the car after paying the deposit the project finally started....it has not been easy as I work in Angola and photos and requests had to be done via e-mail, last year has been nothing but speedster, a really exciting project.
From the start I wanted my speedster to be as close as to the original cosmetically, but don't be fooled easier said than done it will always be a replica.
So lets start with the photos that I do have and I will see if I can create a time line of the build.
