Long Wheel Base Posted June 22, 2017 Share Depends on how you look at it but either 2 VW's or 2 Porsches Maybe he's talking about the Renault 5 parked up top? Riaan373 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted June 22, 2017 Share This was built right here in good old SA! More I agree about the tailgate though... Bit of a fail there judging by the rest of the work done.Also agree, But I think it was probably because of the shape of the bumper. The tailgate would need a interesting hinge to be able to open properly without snagging on the bumper. But to go through all the effort of the rest of the build surely the tailgate would have been easy? Grebel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted June 22, 2017 Share No filter. But I do regular oil changes.Lol yeah I know. Have worked on those motors so much can probably remove, dismantle, reassemble and refit with my eyes closed. I have 2 complete beetles stripped to spares lying around at my folks place. Unfinished project[emoji20] no more time to carry on with it. The one body is a SP(curved front windscreen and slightly different size doors).Did you know there is a mod available to fit an oil filter?

Mine only has the cover and the 6 small bolts. Draining oil is a nightmare DJR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SP has the flat windscreen but had some other bits fitted. I'm planning on some engine work and the filter is on the to do list with some other things....
