I done this with a bug ,, made it a 4x4 on 40s I thought it looked awesome !! but had to position the front pulley of the engine dead on top of the front axle to get it under the factory hood , then no leg room at all on inside ,, back seat was the front seat ..

Hood scoop!

Sorry those too are gone... I've sold anything and everything I could that I didn't need to help fund this build lol...

Well no picture porn but I have been working away. did my back seat foam pad and covered it. did some rear suspension mods. had poly bushing in a sleeve and didnt like the rotation range so switched them over to a heim joint. got valve cover gaskets on the new motor. got some metal for the side skirts and a buddy is gonna help me put some beads in them for some eye candy and strength.. gonna get a swivel for the steering shaft this week and that will let me move the shaft and then finish the driverside header and THAT will allow me to finally start this ol girl for the first time. hopefully i'll have some pics for you guys this weekend. But im still pluggin away every day on something.

progress

well Its been a while since Ive had much to poast worth talking about. You guys know how it is wiring tidying up odds and ends getting all the loose ends but its finally running wired and driving. Even gave it a quick paint job (couldn't take the green). front glass is in.. side glass is in the drivers door. back glass is cut just not installed. gotta get to bmv and get it legal and then put some miles on it and see what other issues come to light
