VWtrends or Hot VW magazines! There are atleast a half dozen adverts in there for the fiberglass bodies.

These are not Empi or Manx but they are quality fiberglass buggys. Their square tube chassis and fiberglass floor are also very nice and worth looking into for use with any kind of fiberglass body. We are useing their tube chassis with a body from the early seventies.

How much is your pan shortened? The Empi Imp is a tad longer than your average 'glass buggy, by approximately 2 inches. _________________ OG JHC
