[/quote]Thanks Steve ,i thought my car in zoom was the best issue:P:P...........Back to you Reubs:thumbJVLRacing [/quote]

🙂 I've actually got two copies of Zoom where your car was featured.... $160,000 was quoted I remember?

Will be a while till the car is really finished enough for a magazine anyway....unless someone wants to sponsor me a nice matching red leather interior with stereo to match. It's tidy and extreme but not quite the calibre I'd expect to see in a magazine.

Ernie
4 Bucket seats could be cool. I've seen it done, but there isn't a whole lot of room in a beetle. Think the moulded in rear seats look great.

Reub I agree those look great. I am low budget. I have buckets from a 914 in the front of mine and have test fitted them in the back. It will work. I want a center console running front to rear. My rear firewall has been moved forward so the console would go between the rear buckets and up the firewall. If I could draw a straight line I would send a drawing.

I still want to see yours in a magizine.

Don't need 50k....mind you, if I paid for everything to be done on my car from scratch it would probably have cost more than 50k....hmmm

Regularly driven vw conversion vehicles that are tidy enough to win an occasional show trophy are pretty rare. Off the top of my head there's Steve's, Jak's, Mine....?

Not many anyway. It'll be good to see another one on the road.

Looking good Reub. 🙂
