No thanks, I want it to be street legal.

man, that is costly 400+ for the kit! at least your building it yourself, instal prices can get COSTLY!

[Flashwerewolf]

I've seen quite a few bugs with those stripes. I think its a common thing with kit bugs. Should have a big "4M" on the hood!

[kinjo]

Pics?

Also, why a bug? Cause those kits are cheap? The Bug is the wii of vehicles.

Can you show me another vehicle that is as cheap and as simple as a pre-'79 VW Bug? One where you can switch out an engine in ten minutes, where a fender costs 100$?

so a combination of a beginner's kit and a cheap kit? One of these days I'ma build a Land Cruiser.

That's a big b*tch!

[Flashwerewolf]

somewhat big, comparable to a jeep I guess. gonna put 35s on it and give it two transmissions. Then I'll just need to find people to go camping in it :<

[kinjo]

i one day want to own a non-active tank
