-51 Volksrod

[Johan W]

My name is Johan Wiktorsson, I´m from Sweden and I have had bugs since -91, currently have a slammed -65 rat.

I have always wanted a volksrod, since 2001 anyway. And I wanted an old look so I bought a split and cut it up.
The floor was so rusty that it has to be replaced.
Now beam extender, i’m shorting the body 8” and lowering it 4-6” over the pan and chopping the windshield 4-5” and tilting the rear window whit the lid for a nice flow.

It’s a lot of work left, but i have done a mockup and I like the way it looks. The patina will stay if it’s possible.
Some photos.
