Chassis

The first step was to find a chassis. There seems to be loads of configurations for the beetle, some better than others.

Fortunately I came across a local 1303 super beetle chassis on eBay, and won the auction at £200. 

The super beetle chassis adds a few complications to the build as it has McPherson struts that mount into the body. The standard beetle has torsion leaves.

 





 I wont be using the gearbox,so I resold it at £150.

Total cost so far is £50!
