Cool project, I think I have read about it before. I don't remember where. I'm currently searching for some 5x130 steel rims to use with winter tires, and remembered exactly your project, where you said you used some van wheels. Are these fiat ducato/peugeot boxer/citroen jumper rims? They look pretty nice on the bug..

yes that's right the steel rims are on those types
i have them from a opel movano
need the maxi type off the van's

here's a link

looking good, how far forward did you have to move the transmission?

Welcome to the GL forums Johan. Lots of nice work going on with your 1303. Keep up the good work!

Really cool, glad to see your definately not taking the normal route! Keep us posted, looking forward to progress shots.
