My Rod
I bought this car from Jeff Baker at Gold Coast and drove it back to Canberra on Saturday 8 January.
This is a 1966 beetle with removed fenders, reshaped front end, drop spindles up front, bench front seat, 750mm gearstick and heaps more. The engine
is a standard 1600cc twin port that pulls well and motors along nicely.
The current pics were taken by Brian White (thanks fella) with more from me as work progresses.

The handbrake is upright and yeah it's next to the gearstick, still registered to seat four.
Love the bench seat too, it was sooo comfortable, I didn't mind spending eight hours a day for two days sitting in it.
Will have to see what the engineers say about the seat.
Yeah, you're right, that bench seat is cool.....:thumb

Great rod!
luv the short piece of chrome at the top of the bonnet, subtle and different.
In NZ the cycle guards should be ok for compliance, don't know about Aus, BUT all the lotus 7 kits use cycle style guards- and you guys must have
them over there....
Cheers

Wicked car mate. Why would you pay $45000+ for a fibreglass Hot Rod?? Yours is much better.
