Default project "Bugaudi"

hi all . my name is Al . i live in williams lake BC . ive been lucky enough to have owned and driven audis for over 20 yrs. i currently have a project on the go that started as a 1986 audi 5000 quattro turbo wagon. i removed the entire body and shortened the wheelbase to 88''. a total of 19'' was removed from the length . after many weeks cutting and measuring i replaced the body with a 1955 vw bug.
i will post pics soon.

interesting I please do....wait as far as i know, there is no way to make the car legal. You hate to use pre existing chasis. Just a warning to you on modifying this. If you mod the chasis, your car is automaticly gone unless you submit it to the ministry or w/e and wait ...wait and wait.
