The Flash Rat
type3vw - July 26th, 2012 at 08:05 AM

hi all this is my newest ride its a 58 flash bug. it has some really good patina and ill be preserving it this way. ill be making it roadworthy and getting it registered to enjoy it. everything under neath will be brand new but leaving the body as is. i have a new gearbox and a 1916cc to go in it, and ill be changing the beam to a 2 inch narrowed instead of this 6 incher. hope you all like.

Will you be selling the 6" beam??


type3vw - July 26th, 2012 at 10:38 AM

thanks heaps guys.
yeah i would sell the beam its not that good though. it doesnt have
adjusters in it. it does have shortened shock towers though with
shortened shockers. you would need to cut out the inner wheel panel
for the beam to fit.

I like the look of the flash bug.

Were they factory built like that, or is it an add on?
