Looking good so far James. Nothing quite like the scale realism of the Wild One.

Cheers, a little help from a Re-re frog was a nice compromise too!

What a stunner James. Can't beat these BadBoys. Gotta get me a replacement.

My Advice is to Buy E Tree on Ebay, they are pretty cheap and has a surprising number of the parts on it... Then buy the cheapest Doner and go from there over time
BeetleLover
Rear Dampers now replaced with Original ones! After the good photo of course!!!

Nice one James, Like John said, can't beat the look of these buggys. I hope to have one soon, thanks to Mike.
BeetleRacer69
I agree with John. You can't not have a WO in your collection. Nice example too James. You gonna run it????
BeetleLover
Nope, never going to run it, or actually when I retire at like 70 I'm going to thrash these cars to an inch of their lives on an awesome track in my backyard...

If I haven't been hit by a bus by then can I come play too??
