I just can't help myself, I bought another project, this one is a '54 Beetle, all the dirty work has been done and it just requires assembly, or so I thought!!!

Here are a couple of pics of the finished pan, after I scrounged all the missing bolts, bought the correct tie rod ends and other various parts needed to assembled it.

It will be standard body and inside will be close to standard.

Running gear is a late IRS pan "L" bug gearbox and not sure what engine yet, something that cruises well, twin carb something??

I have some early porsche Fuchs for it, but I was thinking of some 5 stud flat 4 sprintstars for it, but I am not sure they will fit under the rear guards with a 205 tyre like the Porsche wheels do.

It will be 4 sale when finished, hopefully by Nambucca
