Pieman Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 If it didn't have so much plastic shite stuck all over it and they'd spent a bit more time on the interior, I would quite like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 ^^^^^ now that wouldn't pass the Construction and Use regs, the wheels are just proud of the wings.

bunglebus Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Ah I knew about the 'glass ones but didn't know you could get a metal stamping - it wasn't uncommon in the 80s for people to chop the rear section out of a split, especially the many left in the woods in Sweden, and weld it into a later bug. Of course now those cars would be snapped up and restored, but we were young and stupid then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought the Buggy as a resto project and sold it still as a resto project after a year of faffing about. It was an early GP SWB, so probably first put together in the early 1970s. I had it from 1982 to 1983. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are not made with carbon fibre. They were made using resin with fibre strands mixed in, not from sheets of carbon weave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 The spiel you put in literally says they're made of CF? Why are you picking an argument with yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
