looks like some of the cars aboriginals drive around here with every panel different colours!! good to see a bunch of forum mates cutting up another beetle!! good work fellas come up tops!!

it aint just cool its aircool'd
It was suggested that we paint the wheels yellow and the roof purple, but thought against a Bennetton paint job. Will be painted around Christmas a blue color, close to Suburu blue

with a paint it will look grate well done
Great work. Nice set of bars also. This bring back memories of my 3 Bajas I had in the 80s. Converted one in a weekend.
It's pretty exciting seeing a transformation from a road car to something that you can get a whole lot more excitement out of. For the purists looking at the cutting pictures it was probably like listening to fingernails scratching down a chalkboard🙄
Look forward to the painted pictures.

Ah memories...
Seeing this makes me want to build another one.
I love that barwork, especially the front.
Did you have to raise it at all to fit those rear tyres?
