Love the wheels! Keep the updates coming!!

Had the same thought when I bought my '67 912. First thing I did was look for period correct aftermarket wheels; and then of course lowered the car a little...

sorry for the delay in updating on progress. finally got one side mocked up with the final panels. oddly the car looks a lot flatter in the photos than it does in real life. I masked the roof to take off the primer and leave a stripe, but then liked the look so left it, as it makes the roof of the car smaller relative to the rest of the bodywork. now finalising details like the vent, shut lines and headlamp and foglamp positions. enjoy....

I think the finished car is going to look sensational Steve. I think the shape from every angle looks beautiful.

If anyone took on a project of making VW based fibreglass replicas they would sell very well.

It is looking mighty fine Steve - do you have a completion date in mind? Volksworld?

Volksworld 2020? Me think's it won't be far off that date at the rate we're going Laughing

I suppose it's been a project for about 50 years now so another few years won't hurt Smile

On a serious note it would be great to see it at The VolksWorld show this year as it is, much like we saw Martin Fenner's rhd Oval Kabriolet a couple of years ago whilst halfway through it's restoration...

Hmmm, already have two cars going into the show! A third would be a bit overkill I think!!! Laughing

I'd say 3 is a nice round number!

I'm so excited! I love the handmade body, some day I want to build a hand made body like that.

Has David Small seen the car as it stands now? I'm sure he'd be excited to see the car in it's nearly complete state!

You guys gave me a false alert! I love this car! Some day I dream to build a similarly mid-engined hand built car. I really want to learn to meld sheet metal like this.
