well when i was going thrue veges last year i saw these trikes with a 1600cc vw motor and rear end and i thought why not take a bug ,take the body off , chop the floor pans off leaving just the tunnle down the middle and weld a triple tree and some bracing and there you go
im the fox, love the vw here to get and give any and all the help i can but mostly in need of help, im good at customizing and body work tho

Ummm, people been doing that for 40+ years... lotsa VW based trikes out there. Sadly, many type 3's have been cut up for that purpose as well...
Who knew that a cheap little car designed for the masses at the whim of an evil dictator could be so very cool more than 6 decades later?
