      I found the VW bug at my favorite local shop here in Canada:) I was looking for the 250Z, but when they didn’t have it I saw that they had the bug. I couldn’t resist, even if the box is a little pink and has flowers on the back, lol. It is not a 2 speed bit but I will take it. The freq is 45 Mhz which I didn’t have yet (in a bit). The windows are slightly tinted and the headlamps are painted over in silver(where did I leave that thinner?). There is alot of room under the body, which is one of the main reasons I decided to pick it up. I would highly recomend the body to anyone who wants to hide their mods:)

      The angle is steep on the back of the bug, would have to chop off the pegs and round the middle or get the epoxy out to make it fit right. Sounds like a mod:)

      Big rims on the front, ie Zip Zaps would look really nice as well. I think I will play with it first, but the mods are there. Underbody lighting, lowwwerred body. I think you should find one of these bodies Shypo, I think you would like it:p
