how much did it cost to build

[4strokespec]

@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 !

[AussieRcTips]

so you have realy only made the chassis and the roll cage every thing else is of a vw??

[4strokespec]

@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!

[AussieRcTips]

is that a old vw chassis with a roll cage around it

[4strokespec]

@AussieRcTips No, rear torsion tube was cut out of the original bug to start this project.
