Hey Guy's, after sometime playing with RC Cars, I'm now back to real Cars...

Yesterday a deal was struck, and this will be my New Summer Fun Car...

It's a 53 Split window Beetle sitting an a late Model Chassis.

Motor is a brand New 1641cc which will receive some vintage performance parts aswell as a set of 48IDA's...

This car will be a streetcar and will stay on the street to enjoy driving...

Pics are from the Sale Add...
