I really don't want to spoil your thread with it, but I buildt a modified roadster pickup from a 1964 beetle body and trying any legal step to get it on the road officially.

The plan for now is temporary import and ride with the California plates.
The car is road legal in California

Hello madfrog and geoff, I have been a fan of your car since I first saw it( I think in ultra VW), One of very FEW good looking volksrods. Great to hear it's going to Europe. I don't want to be nosy, but as I'm heavily into old Rods and Modifieds, I'd like to know the plans how to register it in France. I've seen a few 2CV and Citroen and even a Renault Rod but I guess it's as hard to register as in any continental European state ?!

If all goes according to plan, it will attend the Volksworld show and then the Essen show but after that I don't know for sure.

Hey Mad Frog,
That's great to see the car getting those quality upgrades... I know the brakes couldn't get any worse
Hope you enjoy it for a long LONG time.

Hi Geoff,
With Tfabs we are trying to keep up with the quality AND spirit of your work.
It is such a fantastic ride, it deserve the best and it deserve to be driven a lot.
Maybe you will come to Europe next year to test its new brakes?
Cheers
