PatW Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Funny name for a Beetle. Built box stock, changed the exhaust as it seemed a bit weedy, added very small plastic tube, slightly larger alloy tube and a larger one then the large pipe to finish. Decals from the kit and a few from the collection.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Cool, I like the dystopian vibe it has. Do you happen to remember which kit the empi decals were in? I've been looking for some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Great looking build. I like the touch of rust along the bottom of the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Cool build, I have a soft spot for VW Baja racers. Does that kit come with the two-piece tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Very nice. Still can't figure out the tarp on the front though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Thanks guys. Yes the Tarp, did they think it would save the weight of a shortened steel bonnet? Did they do fibreglass versions back then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they still have those horrible rubber/plastic two piece tyres, that don't seem to stick together properly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
