Thanks for the comments guys
wrenchnride i dont think it would have been quite the same if i hadnt seen yours :lol: you've definately helped me!!
i'm already thinking about going over to the porsche coupling instead of the beetle coupling lol!
i wont be doing any work on it for a few weeks now as im moving house and changing jobs in the same week.....but when the chassis comes back il build it up and get it rolling - the body is booked in for paint in 10 weeks and i rekon ive got a couple of days tieing up lose ends on that before shes ready to go!
thanks again
