Looks like a load of scaffolding that someone's thrown together with a welder

be nice to put a VW baja body shell/kit round it all,
put it on the road, with suicide doors on it.

As an ex engineer,
an ex short circuit racer of various formulea,
I think the work that went into that was rather good,
in fact it was better than rather good, I recon its excellent.

After having a son who was/is an aircooled VW nut, he`s had a few Baja kitted beetles,
and the half built offroader makes any baja kitted VW look like a kiddies play tonka toy.


Believe me, I welded what seemed miles of 2x2 and 1x1 box section to make a "superstock"/F2 stock car in the past,
and those tubes in that offroader has nice curved & stressed welded tubes that are good!

what you see is what you get, its not been covered by tacky sheet ally or steel

Eggzakerly.

It was built from the ground up and isnt pretty in the normal sense of the word, it is built for a purpose which im sure it does well.

It was not built to win a beauty pageant.
