SALVAGE WAGON 'V2'
FOR SALE
Brief description
Fully customised 1969 VW Beetle - The shell has been cut from bulkheads and rewelded lower past the chassis so that it gives the effect of a seriously lowered beetle but sitting on a factory heigh chassis. I added drop spindles as well to the front. Adjustable springs fitted all round and new brakes and calipers and brake lines everywhere. Engine rebuilt and revalved etc and 1400 cylinders put on a 1200 engine. Custom made everything you see right down to exhaust system and rumu wood trims. Way to much to list so look at photos and email me for questions.
I engauged a compliance guy to do an initial check before I got to far and he said the only things he sees that I need to do that are not present or could be a problem are fitting indicators and where the seats and seatbelts are fitted to reinforce with some tube the spce between so bolts dont crush box section (even though it wont). Also wanted the doors tack welded shut on the inside to prove they are not used. THe doors currently can come off but are not needed as i designed it to jump over.
Other work to be done is fit the fuel tank as I currently have a non compliant stainless fire extingusher as my fuel tank which wont pass. The speedo needs connecting up as well. This car is drivable nut not legal.
It will need to be complied and registered.
I wasn't go to sell it at all as it is in storage out the way but I am busy for the next 3 years doing a Christian Studies Diploma which takes all my spare time up and we are also setting up a project to take disabled people up in small aircraft free of charge, piloted by my wife at our own cost so to do that we need to sell some stuff and this is my most expensive asset along with my other Volksrods. THe white beetle is not for sale as it is my daughters that I built for her so please dont ask about that one.
I may also part with the Volksbike I have built as well. All pictures on this website but the bike has had more mods done since the photos but does not drive. Just a piece of art.
You will see a number of pictures of the Volksrod V1 and it started off with a surf board rack before being sponsered by Iron Maiden Beer to promote it at the Kumeu Hot Rod Show where I got 3rd place peoples choice.
The car is not professionally sprayed as it is a rat rod and I used CRC Zinc stainless spray to achieve the effect I wanted on top of epoxy primer etc. Also the bonnet has been properly rusted.
The car has been in storage for a number of years now but still workds fine but I will need to give it a good clean up for serious possible purchasers.
I will include all the stuff I have collected for it that it requires except indicators becaus eI never found what I wanted for those.
