VW. . .'Manx'

 This is the running assembly that arrived the other day, loosely attached to the Manx fibreglass body as seen below. . .

 No good Manx is ever turned out without a 'SuperBug' rear end and this looks like a pretty good option for a transplant, droop snoot and all.

And this is what the transplant is all about, a SuperBug rear end. The original running gear and floor assembly is always shortened by about a foot for the Manx conversion, so we''ll have to wait and see how the two measure up for the rebuild. . .
