Oh my gawdddd ;D
That Volksrod is pretty tight, love the look from the (incomplete) back end shot. What are the plans for it?
The Charger just makes me weak at the knees........Someday!

yeah mate, lets start at the top, 4" ish chop, done with only one extra roof, so the pillars were pulled in rather than quartering the roof sections, 55 oval rear window section, 8 pt tagged robinson racecars c/mo cage, alloy jazz seats - soon to be hacked to death to resemble bomber seats (of sorts) raised trans 4" to sort the camber issues i had getting it low with stupid tall tyres, which in turn means relocating the h/brake lever, raising the gear stick etc, all new floor pans, crossmembers, bulkheads, suicide doors, beam extender, adjustable beam, 2" lowered cb spindles, tubbed rear, present motor is the 1641 ^^ up there, 1200 gearbox - was a 1500 unit but with the tall tyres 4 gear was redundent hence the 1200 box, duolamps and tractor h/lights, pre 67 gauges, un-known steering column - was just kicking around, morris minor wheel, and my fav bit, a starter button from a ww2 spitfire |

Proably the finest pair of cars to choose ever. Top drawer. Love the Charger - what spec is that motor? Bug is art. I miss driving my 67 Beetle...

Talk about contrast.
Dragbug is supreme, some serious work in that, and the Charger looks stunning too.
Anything else you wanna share?

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |
