Agreed. Its all off the shelf stuff too. I bet you could build it with a real GT steering wheel, real burners, real early Berg shifter, ect for that money. |

The problem we have in the UK is that it's not just a case of altering the car generally speaking, it's more a case of cutting it up and rebuilding it first and before you've got to any of the accessories you can easily burn that money in body and paint alone, this makes a California car appealing. For the accessories along the lines of those you mentioned among others you have better swapmeets too, infact you guys have it easy! Whilst you might be able to build that there it would be a tougher prospect here. Not impossible, but certainly tougher.  |

That car is pretty cool. You european guys have it easy because you just open your checkbook and bring all of the U.S cars over there for cheap, which means you are not really vw enthusiasts  |

15K pounds sterling not enough in the Uk to build that car...
parts alone would be 10-12K UKP
this excludes the labour to do everything.

Yeah, if I had the money i would start buying up all those cheap Hi-po parts on the Samba and start shipping them across the pond to sell. --louis |
