Original eighties Beetle, compete strip down and clean and replacement of plain bearings with ball races. Frame rails are very straight compared to other models I've worked on. It has an open diff and standard 540 motor. Bought this without a shell about ten years ago but got hold of a second hand one with a presentable paint job. Reply for more photos of the build.
