Added some of the pipework, the heater ducting and started scratchbuilding the new brake servo we've added.

Some great scratchery going on here!
One thing about the real one has me thinking though. Is that little v-dub engine going to have the lungs to push that thing? I can see the crew pushing at the first sign of a hill. lol

Hi Ian, It's not a standard VW engine it's a highly modified 2.2 litre engine.

Well this arrived for the samba bus conversion, fair bit of bodywork modification needed (doing it as the cafe mexicano version) made a start on the modifications. The kit itself looks really good all the molding is very crisp and sharp and detail looks well defined.
