Looks interesting, keep us updated with the build Ian. Are you gonna build it clean or heavily weathered?

as a tip keep an eye on the short front side and drivers door, mine did not seem line up quite right.

I'm hoping to go somewhere in the middle Leo, used but loved. So plenty of scope a little rust and damage
Thanks for the heads up Scott, I did notice on yours already.

Always wanted to do one of these so I'll be watching with interest
Got something done on this over the weekend. First was to get rid of all the pin marks off the bodywork, then I got the engine built and painted along with the wheels

Engine looks great; wheels are intriguing....these were so slow we dreaded seeing their backside more than a caravan's!

Thanks guys, I'm not too sure if I've overdone it on the wheels, but that can be sorted at a later date if I have. The engine and its bay still needs some muckying ( if that's a word ) up.
I was going to do one of these with the rusted look,but I decided to go with the beetle I did a while back.
looking good so far will be following the build

that's looking great, better than mine, keep it up.
Thanks for the great comments guys.
well I've got some more done to this one, I've got the hubcaps painted but I'm leaving 1 off, I also got the engine bay grimed up and painted the underside. And also the floor of the inside

Looking good the weathering on the floor pan etc is spot on.
