Cool stuff mate! What ya building? (Classic VW by any chance?)

Nah, I'm using parts from a classic VW beetle (1972 to be exact!). I'm building like a sand rail. Basically, the vw was working absolutely fine but the floorpans were completely rusted as were other parts. So, the bug was stripped and you take the engine, gearbox, stearing column and front end, and anything else that is mechanincal (not much on a vw bug tbh!). Then put it into a space frame. It'll look something like this when finished:

Although sadly without panels as I don't have any
And they are really hard to get hold of. I don't know if I could be bothered to mould them as well!

Haha, I don't know...years!! The thing is, I only get to spend sundays on it (stupid saturday school!). Then holidays of course.. I don't know, maybe 3-5 years, it's hard to say! I love working on it though but it's not easy! Especially if you are the only one, it's amazing how much time you can save when you have a helper! Still, it'll be worth it and the experience I am gaining is certainly well worth it!
Hell yeah mate! Saturday school though, must be eager
- Good effort though mate, you should do a build blog

I know, I should! I'll get round to it sometime, probably christmas, maybe half term but I'm simply just so busy with work ! And Saturday school isn't as bad as it sounds. I only have one lesson, I'm with my friends and we play rugby in the afternoon. So, it could be worse!

It's not that bad! Honestly! Apart from the fact I have to get up at 6:20, it's fine. What more can you want than to be mucking around with your mates? Also, I get epically long holidays to make up for it, so I don't mind that much!
Mucking around with your mates whilst not at school
Nah its cool you get big hols to make up for it too!
Oh please tell me it is a 911 RSR
Couldn't afford a 911 RSR, its a 928S2. 4.7L of V8 goodness.
