First drive!

Very pleased with how it went.

Gearing - almost perfect - Its on 16" wheels, with a Freelander diff (Didn't do any calculations, just hoped for the best).

Suspension - a little soft. It's on the original super beetle springs (cut down). I think they are something like 80lbs/inch. I'll be converting to coilovers with a rallydesign kit.

Clutch - quite progressive, I didn't stall!

Excellent, such fun getting the first drive done.

Certainly a memory - remember driving down the lane by my parents house in my MK Indy under it's own power

Pretty sure that lack of cycle wings isn't legal
