Since Phil's Manx caught on fire and he has a new project I've taken over

[12Pack]

Last year I purchased a yellow 1963 VW Dune Buggy - Originally from Las Vegas and had it shipped over here to NJ. This is pretty much the way it arrived.

The stock 1600CC engine has been upgraded with larger piston heads (documented) and a larger Empi Carb.

This is the dash - that is starting to dry rot and brake apart.

There were some crack in the fiberglass body and a few chipped paint areas from the 3 point seatbelts chipping the paint when taken off - I've personally contributed to some of the chips in the short time I had it.

As of today - here is the car. Sanded down after pulling off the lights and windshield. There are some cracks in the fiberglass that are being fixed in preparation for the new paint. Also, I have some exotic wood on order as I am personally re doing the entire dashboard.

Will add updates soon!

I've always wanted to see one of these done with sleek LED or projector headlights instead of the old school ones.

Some updates:

The Dashboard - one trip to Home Depot.

I have customer floor mats made to replace the "sand rail Scorpion" in this pic. Will pick up the custom floor matts today/tomorrow as they are completed. I even took apart the Speed O and have some iron cross decals behind the glass if you look close enough.
