Crossing a Lexus with a Beetle...

Apologies if a repost, but this is worth getting a coffee and having a read through if you haven't seen it - can't believe that the guy found time to get married as well!

Mental, but awesome!

Love projects like that! There's some quite nice material already in the build shed

I hate it when i see these threads too early! The guy has skills, i like the flourishes on the brackets especially. I'll have to try and remember to check it (it's in my favourites) in a few months time!

I've done exactly the same!

Sounds as though the guy has been getting some grief over the project from some people, but I can't imagine why. Looking forward to seeing it finished

Bloody Hell I thought it was a "yer but no" putting Lex-arse lights on a new Beetle. Superb effort glad I looked.

whoa, nice build! Recycling everything too! Did you see the cars in his garage, various kit cars, Lotus Esprit Turbo and that Porsche!

[aposegil]

well done to the guy

[Dr G]

Wow, hooked!

Our neighbours (Rodz n Sodz) are currently putting an RS6 donk into the back of a Beetle!

[GreatGranny]

Bugger, meant to have left work at 5.45pm, just shutting down now!

Well worth the read though, bookmarked.

The Esprit is real AFAIK, though the Turbo is another Beetle-chop
