Volkswagen 'Manx'. . .

 Yep, this is one for all you Hippies out there, straight out of the seventies comes this Manx. This is the way she arrived and I'm not sure if the new owner has had too much hippy-weed or what, but she now looks like she's set up as a trike? All jokes aside folks, this is going to be one ball-tearing ride after it's been slammed right down onto the ground and rebuilt from there up.
 As you can see she's a bit of a jig-saw puzzle at the moment and Hodgey is the right bloke to put all the pieces back together seeing as his old man drove one of these around the streets terrorising the hell out of young girls waaay back when 'peace' was the 'in' word and your flares were that skin tight that the girls knew in advance what you were packin. Anyway back to now and the first port of call is to purchase a 'super bug' rear end so the boys can drop the suspension with no problems from the old geometry. . .
That explains where the missing wheel is. . .
She's gonna need some loving but she's in the right shed for the right mods. . .
