Hi , just a little update , ive now paper mache'd the rear end and fenders , they do look a bit unsimetrical at the mo but the whole lot will be trimmed and shaped when its fully fibreglassed up , i havn't got a shed yet and its raining outside and is for a couple of days now so i can't do the fiberglassing :0( ah well this is as far as ive got

[hamster huey]

Youre creative! Is it going to be a mold for more bodies? Thats really good looking and keeps the original flavor of a baja bug.

Hi mate , thankyou , i prefere the look of the beetle (bug) shell with full fenders , it just looks better lol , if it all turns out the way i want it to it may become a base for more fibreglass shell yes :0)

Hi all ive not been on for a few days as out little boy was born wed at 2.57am wieghing 6lb 3oz by emergency c section so a bit of good news there :0)


right i also got mu engine too , it does need a couple of bits like a new isolater block so i can get rid of the boost bottles and it needs a woodruff key for the flywheel but thats about it tbh ,its a 29cc cy bottom end with a stuffed crank and a billet 29cc head kit , ive had a good luck at it and there is no sign of the head warping or the chrome in the cylinder bore being scratched , its like a morror finish in there , also no sign of any leake at all
