I came up with this
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=TAMC0953&P=X Its a baja based off road. Spoke with the UK agents 5 mins ago and they have the shell and glass parts for it specially ordered from Japan. They got it for another guy, so i could get in the middle and buy it in the following working hours, so hurry up guys. THe better the base model is the better the results will be Chris

There is a link to the model. Shop around and you might be able to find it lower. Towerhobbies is nice and all, but a little higher than other places.

First update:
Order this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Beetle-body...QQcmdZViewItem should be here next week  Since the cover has the wheel openings closed i can shape the fenders to the original. Along I will try and make a floorpan and the trans, engine, axles and wheels to fit under as in a real beetle. I will post pics to follow. For my body kit version i will use either thin pvc sheets so i can shape them, and epoxy to mount them and filler paste to perfect the final model Im thinking of doing half stock and half modified, and seperate them with a pvc wall running across the centreline of the car. also i will try to make the roof spoiler (lip) that goes above the rear window Chris
