    I like the way the rear lights have chrome trim.

    I've loved driving the bug around and not worrying too much about getting it dirty so I'm going for an swamper/safari style build. I had a little play with bus selecta so will have to find the picture from that.

    Something like this. I’d like to get it signwritten as if it were the shop truck for a little outback supply shop. “Stevie’s Outback Shack”.:)

    Funnily enough I know a man with a brand new Vinyl printer who might just be able to help unless you're going old school proper signwriting?

    When I did mine getting parts for the 57 was a pain, at least with the 65 it should be easier

    I’m going to go old school signwriting. There’s a guy down my way, Shogun Signs, that does some cracking work who I’m going to speak to when I get that far.

    It’s not been too bad so far. I’m picking up some door tops, pedals and a few other bits from Simon at NosVw this weekend.

    I’m struggling to find a RHD pedal belly pan at the moment. There’s a grotty looking one on eBay that I might have to buy and repair if nothing else comes up.

    Yeah there are repro ones but the reviews suggest I’d be better using a baking tray!

    From memory I think it came with a set of 14” split rims.

  20. With the look your going for it may be worth finding a set of 15 inch rims as it will open up the choice of chunky tyres
