Well it looks like you've got a nice motor for it. I imagine a lwb will go together well with fewer complications.

I can recommend the Doon as a good solid tub, there is a good build thread here
http://www.chris-jordan.org.uk/

And a slightly more way out swb one here

Peters site is also well worth a browse

Sorry to give you even more choice

That's worth a thought :) I really need to take some "now" photos. Any links to a post to see said buggy?

I'll update that, buggy dealing, match making crack dealers!  ;)

Might be slightly tongue in cheek that comment. Ian's buggy is one of the best in the country

As said you can go through members buggies and Peters site looking at body shapes to see what you like the look of. There are a few LWB shells on the market.

Not long until possible the biggest buggy meet in the uk so far, only got to wait until early May. You should be able to find one there you like.
Time enough to get the beetle sold, get a chassis and start work on getting it right ready for the body to be dropped on.
Enough already, just give me a break

I built this LWB Jas last year on a strict buget using mainly used parts, it really turned out well IMHO. One of the members on this site has the moulds (freakofnature).
