My New Project (Warning big pics)

[Chris_W]

As a few of you were asking me at the MK meet why I'm selling my nova I thought I'd better post some pics of my new project. It's a 1968 Beetle, or should that be was :S, thats under going a serious transformation. Take a look and laugh, because when it's finished you should only see the back of it :twisted:

LOL! Should be fun! Put twin engines in! Mind you, I love that little sound a beetle engine makes when it pulls away!!!! Anyone know what i mean?

CLASS

Much better than a good zorst like a rattley noise.

[Chris_W]

Just to confirm what was said above, it will be powered by a Subaru Impreza lump and will have 17" alloys :o
So now you know what to look for 8)

When your project is done, will you have to pay tax for it, or will you not have to, seeing as its technically a 1968 car?

[Chris LR]

Is it going to be one of these....

Jack the Back end up, chop the roof off deals?

[Nova Modder]

its a classic car so..

no tax...

and stupidly cheap classic car insurance ( as long as he says hell only do 2k miles a year and has access to another car to drive for everyday use )

ill have to get me a classic car :)

[Rick Draper]

ROFLMFMO Chris when you said it was bad you were having a laff, thats fucked :lol: . Rick

[novamark]

There is a yellow Porchse engined one in Bristol has a whale tail to hold the road, is mainly used for strip racing but looks nce as a road car.

Prove everyone wrong Do it.

[Jim]

Bl00dy hell Chris, you were saying the Nova has given you hassle, lol.

Good Luck mate, keep us updated.

Jim

[locky]

Good luck chris! hope it turns out nice!

[Chris_W]

Looks like alot of work but to be honest it's easier than throwing a LET in a nova, though I'm only going on what I've said as I'never put a LET in a nova :o
The Subaru engine fits in the back with only a little help from Mr Angle Grinder, and the repair panels I need are cheap. Initial plans are the project should take about a year from now, but thats subject to change.

Chris

PS. Thanks for the words of encouragement, I'll keep everyone updated as I go.

[novamark]

it'll achieve being a cossie killer!
