@AussieRcTips Yep,pretty much... the seats are 914 porsche, cables and hardware are from the motorcycle shop. Front & rear suspension, along with trany & motor are from the donor-bug. All the kool shiny stuff was ordered from various VW parts stores, (Moore,Apple-tree,Summit,The bus depot,aa pistons,So Cal Imports, Trailquest,Pacific Costumes,IMC, etc...)
If You're building your own, I recommend a donor car (you'll save big on all the misc nuts & bolts) and always make templates for fabricating!
No plans, I just propped up the suspension and motor with blocks,figured out how much leg room I needed, and then welded things together. this is the 5th 0ne I've built over the past 30 yrs. Thanks !
how much did it cost to build
THEJAREDCOOPER1 5 months ago
@THEJAREDCOOPER1 Parts & steal cost about $3,000. Labor cost around $2,000. Wheel, tires ,
and engine are the biggest expense. the steal for the frame was only around
$400. Its a cheap date if you can do the build you self. The one-seat'r is
for sale on Missoula's Craigslist. give it a look. Thanks !
