Hi people new to the site after many years of ho rodding and drag racing its now vw time -
I am currenting working on a very rusty 71 bay - Lots of new panels have been hand fabricated with little trick details -
The end result should be a turbo scooby powered old girl with trick bits and slammed to the floor
Some pics of how it started and where it is now

I will keep you all posted on the progress I am in Ferndown if anyone wants to give a hand
