the lowrider and the hotrod

just thought I would post a pick of the hotrod and the lowrider.

nice rod

The hot rod is cool, but the low rider is cooler!

either would be cool to own.....but both!!

the hotrod is my daily driver and the lowrider is just for fun

found some photos of the back of the rod for ya

The rod looks awesome from behind!

I love those pipes and the rear wheels look really fat

picked up 2 more beetles at the weekend. that makes 7 dubs

the first is a 1302s and the second is a 68 1300 beetle (with a 1300/1500 hybrid engine ) both are in a state at the moment but they will be done by easter (aswell as the baja)

Was the lowrider at BVF this year? Sure I remember seeing it there and on the motorway on the way back. Sits quite high when driving along

yeah it was there. i always used to drive with the suspension raised right up (until bugjam when it caused a valve to split. now i drive along as low as possible).

whats the legality on running without wings, front and back' on a bug?

info need for the project!

I don't think you can run them legally without,
knew a guy years ago who was into the hot rod scene big time (old fords)

he and his mates just made up some crappy mud guards for the M.O.T that they could fit real easily ,then took them off but kept them in the cars in case the police stopped them.

I started to run my juiced bus on the lowest settings but you don't get much suspension travel then, you are better off running it about midway for a comfortable ride then dropping it on it's ass when you get there!!

thats pretty much what i do scoops.

as for running no wings there is no law that says you have got to have them it only states that the wheels need a splash gaurd in the wet. so if its dry your perfectly legal but when it rains you need a little something covering the tyres (the guy from the dvla said it only has to be big enought to stop the spray from the tyres it doesnt have to cover the whole tyre).

i dont run mine with anything since the accident and i havent had a problem (thats over a year as my daily driver) when the cops have seen it. even with the big tyres on the back!

the gaurds in the photos were made from plastic trailer mudgaurds.

i forgot to add:

it went through the MOT without mudgaurds on and the tester couldnt fail it as there is nothing that covered no mudgaurds.

sweet, just wot i wonted to hear!!

haha, I love loop holes! I bet the DVLA foam at the mouth over this!

heres the 68 beetle

What exhaust does the hotrod run...its as cool as
