Bugrod for anyone to build.
This is the beginning of a long project! Started as a 1969 Beetle!
Will end up a Bugrod named Rene!

Thanks for the post I haven't seen the volksworld magazine with the volksxrod. I must find somewhere that sells the mag.
Cheers.
Heres some more photos of Rene!

watching this build with interest, are you putting in a beam extender, running without guards?
What type of welder do you use for welding in the floor. I only have an old fashioned arc welder, have to b uy a new one soon before i start building
my car, what is the best to buy in your opinion? Cheers for any info and good luck with the build..
Hurry up and wait

Thanks for watching I'll post some updated photo's soon.
I use a Boss Turbo Dual Purpose 150H Mig welder, gas and gassless, does panel welding and up to 6mm with ease. Set me back about $600.00 was
recommended to me by a professional welding engineer.
The car will have no guards, no roof, half windscreen, will be registered for the road so will need to run small trailer style guards at first.
Interior will be bare, see photos to come.

Working towards something like this!
Will be making a fully road legal Volksrod, that you can build yourself or let us do it. This will be the prototype and a kit will be made from this.
I am using everything I can from the original Beetle, to make the project affordable for anyone to build.

Thanks Greedy, been there many times, have got many ideas from the site. This first Volksrod I'm building will be very simple, not too much
complicated welding or fabrication. Like the word volkswagen (the peoples car) this Volksrod will be the peoples Hotrod.

Good Question! Cut roof has been approved, cut windscreen is under engineering certification at present, roll cage is not needed, as for
strengthening, this is already approved by engineers, I can post photos but, the plans cost me a pretty penny, so I will post some photos, but not in
detail. Thanks for the post. I am happy to answer any Questions. Cheers

The seats are not legal like that, the law says there can be no rips on tears in the seat, (none I can see), the reality is when I go for Road worthy,
Just put seat covers on!
