Re: Mini-t beach buggy build
Pan is now shortened to meet the body correctly and the tunnel has been re-arranged to move everything within reach quite a job but we managed to get a 40 page assembly manual for this build so that definately helps

next to have all the strange size cables made up and make up the new brake lines then we can start with the interior

Re: Mini-t beach buggy build
Very cool 
but IMO you need to go a little wilder on the paint.....
Check out Fritz Schenk ( http://www.spritzbyfritz.com/ ) if you don't know of him already. Has done and is busy with some pretty wild VW stuff.
