Defect....Defect....Defect
i saw this and was just speechless so i had to share
it turned up in the homemade bastards and abortions thread so some of u have probably already seen it
but its the kind of stuff if u tried to pull it off in oz they'd lock u up and throw away the key
scarey thing is the guy drives this bug daily
it looks like it was once a nice 69 beetle
the most amusing aspect of it is he has converted to right hand drive himself
so as u can see hes left the dashboard as is
if it had a speedo cable the passenger could tell him how fast he was going
probably so he can still reach the radio thro the glovebox while driving
now rather than get proper RHD pedals hes hack in some LHD pedals from god only knows what
check the chopped and hacked pedal arms 
the original clutch pedal has just been cutoff and had a slave cylinder attatched
and the brake master cylinder is just bolted to the firewall instead of the floorpan bulkhead
so all this fits under the fuel tank hes just wedged it onto some longer bolts to hold it up higher..... she'll be right mate
which means the original filler neck wont line up anymore
nevermind just shove a cough syrup bottle in there for a fuel cap
obviously the right boss kit woulda broken the budget so he just screwed the new steering wheel to the old one with wood screws
rather than buy wheel adapters or get drums redrilled to fit those rims he only uses 2 bolt holes from a 5 stud pattern....
and im sure no grease caps are real good for the bearings to
those mirrors that clip onto the gutters kinda dangling from the door instead...
and finally what ISNT wrong with this picture....

That's why Australia has modification rules, to protect the public from these idiots, and the idiots from themselves.
When the water in the front wheel bearings make them seize the two wheel bolts will probably shear off...

it wasnt the owner that put them up
another samba member took them and put them in the abortions thread
shane, cos of his stupid mastercylinder mounted so high up on the firewall the fuel tank wont sit down normally
so its sitting up suspended on those bolts with nothing but gravity holding it in place
only in america...

If it's in America why did he change it from LHD to RHD? Or was it supposed to make it look more 'exotic'?

some of His ideas are ingenius...
How would anyone think of doing the pedals like that?
its just a shame He wasn't doing the pedals on an old Yank tank.... lol
RHD cars are scarce in the uSA..
so unique and they are sought after...
but I just hope that beetle owner [Yes 1969 beetle]
doesn't do any more beetles....
for mates etc..... lol

in adelaide we have some of the worst cars in the country!
We have no vehicle checks unless the vehicle is defected..
I have mates with corolla`s that have twin turbo 6`s in them unless you get picked up by the police knowone really cares.
My beetle got defected time last year n i have to put the vehicle totally back to as it left the factory to clear it.
I am really thinking about the whole engineers thing.

stuipid beetle breaks everytime i drive it.....
