Dig it out, shine it up and get it back in the public eye. That car is so sweet! Stuff sitting never gets better with age and you just may have grand babies coming up before long. Keep the car all limbered up and ready for them please!

Got most of the build photos moved to the Samba gallery, so now the thread is a bit more readable again... Laughing
This is a new photo (from October this year).
Both kids grown out of it so now it is our garden decoration!

Sad but all Photobucket photos in this thread is now down. I chose to not support them many years ago and have gotten warned several times for overstorage and sharing. Today my account have been deleted by my request.
I will maybe post up old photos by adding them to TheSamba gallery soon.

I have been a watcher in this topic for a long time. I must say this beats all of them I have seen thus far. It speaks for itself and with some attention this will become a icon in VW aftermarket modifications! Absolutely badass!

The fendered minibug posted above is not the original Kidvrod but a "copycat" from Norway.. Very Happy

The bodylines are not as smooth on that one as on mine.. Well, that´s my opinion anyways. Very Happy Very Happy Respect for the work put in that one too though! Cool

Fantastic work.
I have chopped a couple of roofs but to do a whole care is amazing.
And to make it look proportionally correct is a lot of work.

I want to see you do a Bus now.
