Er.. you really want to build that :-)
Seriously... check out some of the cars on the archives.
People have built them for a couple of grand and they knock the socks off that! :p

This is a bond bug. A similar shaped three wheel version to the picture you've posted.

Those cars may look odd, but if you stick something like a bike engine in the back then who cares?
Answer: the bloke you just left standing at the lights.

Somebody made a dragster out of one, way back (70s?). They did wimp out and fit 2 wheels at the front, though.

FOUND IT!

Great place for the fuel tank! And is that bungee cord holding it on? Ahhh, the 70's, such a carefree time.

Well, there's shouldn't be anything in front to squash the fuel tank on a drag strip - if you get as far as the barriers then a squashed
fuel tank is just one of your worries!

PS: If you want to be really scared, ask Jon Beedle to post a picture of his Bug chassis - makes a Locost look like a truck chassis!

If you go to thr Riley link that 'chrisg' suggested, you will find information about building fibreglass bodies using foam
insulation as the plug and then laminating it with matt and resin.
Good luck!
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

"Because its minimal curb weight, the small 12 kW (16 hp) engine still gives it a power-to-weight ratio about equal to that of the early VW
Beetle"
And that's something to be proud of???????
