After huge amounts of fabrication to make the turbo motor fit into the engine bay and look like it was factory fitted, along with a fully hidden silenced exhaust system, hidden induction pipework wrapping around the engine and under the valance, stainless steel hard oil lines to the chassis mounted coolers and filter the '51 beetle is finally blown apart and in the various paint stages now. The body has been epoxied and the first major bodywork stage is completed. The body is now in polyester to while we get on with the bolt on parts.
This is not going to be your average split window beetle πͺπΌ. We are very grateful to the owner of the car for the vision and trust in building this one-off vehicle, it's a long process!
