Hey,

Just joined up to the forum to get some advice and help with finding and building a rat look beetle.

Looking forward to getting my first air cooled VW. Currently driving a water cooled VW a 2009 R32.

Am after a pre 1960's beetle that would be suitable for a rat conversion, so if you see any around please point me in the right direction.

Cheers
Brad

Hi Brad

There's a few around at the moment. Where abouts are you? Have a look at these.

Thanks Aspro

Am located in Sydney but willing to look interstate.

Have spoken to the owner of the 59 rat unfortunately it is not in a state that is transportable to sydney.
