Did you get the subaru motor in it yet? I have to say that is one of the sweetest cars.

Thanks for the comments guys
I'm VERY happy with it so far
Chris..... so far the Bugs won 3 awards, on it's very first time out, and after a nightmare of a day trying to get it ready, it won 'Best overall Bug' and five minutes later 'Best of Show' at DEVA Dubs and Rods.

What a FANTASTIC day!! (Got VERY sunburnt though!)
A week later and at VWoodstock.
www.vwaction.co.uk/vwwoodstock/
It won one of the 'Top Ten Aircooled' awards (Basically the judges are told to go and find the ten cars that they would like to take home with them
)
Another brilliant day
Travis.....
The Scooby motor IS coming, just not quite yet
. I need to get all the mechanicals working together and sort out some better brakes
before that. The bug handles really well at the moment and I want to make sure that everything is 100% before sticking 250HP under the decklid!!
It WILL happen though!
Thanks guys

Dude your car fuckin owns! I love the paint, very original and the hood hinges are great. Two questions?
What type of seats are you using and where did you get them?

Greg, Thanks for that
As for the seats, I got them out of a salvaged Toyota MR2, from a performance car junkyard. (and at a great deal too
)
I had them retrimmed in a Subaru style ('had these, fitted and everything but retrimming them was going to be a nightmare!) but in blue tweed.
Here's a couple of pics.......
