PatW Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Raised between body and chassis, body unpainted just clear gloss coated, added tyre decals, alloy exhausts and top and sidescreens that would hinge upwards. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Nice one, Pat. I like the blue hoop, most unusual, as are the yellow seats. I'm still undecided whether to get one for a nostalgia build or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Thanks Pete. The back window is all clear plastic so I painted it with clear blue Acrylic, Yes it's difficult to know what to do with one of these, I've raised this I shall possibly try to lower the one I have on the bench at present. I bought another because of their low price! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijs302 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 a nice blast from the past ,i think i need to build a few a lowered one would look good ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Thanks Ian. Having built a lowered version of the Beetle with my youngest son 30 years ago. Yes a buggy would look nice lowered. I have one I built of the AMT Meyers Manx. The top of the wheel arches are cut out as per Le Mans cars to allow air pressure to escape at speed, not particularly for a beach buggy but it looks good especially on big rims! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
