Hi
Car looks cool, it really needs a transmission lift or splitty reduction boxes upside down. Who owns it?

It doesn't look registerable to Me either...
the rear tyres are overkill...
too much negative camber for the width of the tyres/wheels..
I wonder if it had any lights on the front??
I really don't think the guys in blue would be too happy with it.....

Hi
Not fan of excessive neg camber, it looks like a 180B Datsun coming back from bowling club after to many scones.

It is airbagged so it may be legal (if the inspector is blind). No tyre covers/fenders = no rego.
Awsome looking car in the flesh though.

But a true friend will be sitting next to you saying "Damm that was fun!!!"

From these pics the main rego issues would be the exposed wheels, exposed engine and ride height. I've seen other pics of it with a decklid, and a
lot of rodders run cycle style guards which they take off for shows (I'm sure he's not going to be picked up for not running cruising around Natex
), and it looks bagged so no probs with ride height. And if you look
closely it has indicators, lights etc at both ends.
I reckon it would look sweeter without the rear bags, running some good old 60s style rake

the beetle was built by the guys at WEBB MOTORSPORT at dapto NSW . They specialise in air-bag conversions and decided to build 'SKINHEAD' for the
summernats this year .
they came to WPVW not long before christmas and cut the oval rear window section from my very rusty 54' wreck . Several other components were sourced
from WPVW including rubbers and seals , before being sent to rod for the trim work .
With limited time they done very well to get the bug completed and ready for summernats in time .
WELL DONE GUYS !!
