aiight i dunno if this belongs here or not! but on sunday @ supernats, i saw this great split window but, chopped about 3 or 4" with a v8 conversion. looked HOT!!!
i tryed to find the owner but with no luck...
Only beetle there on the day! and what a beetle it was!
full v8 conversion, some MASSIVE thick rims on the back, and it was towing a little silver "rocket" trailer.
Would love to see a build thread on this little beaut!
Cheers all, NuZo

I cant remember the guy's name, it lives around the Penrith area,
has been around for a long time, a very tough ride,
i think he sells shirts etc from the trailer from memory.

yeah that car was built in the 1970s and I think has been a few different colours over the decades - black with flames; yellow etc - it musta done a million miles by now!! Last time I saw it, it had just crashed into a tree 🙁
Full chassis, leaf rear springs etc with a VW body plopped on top
