Tubular chassis for VW Beetle/buggy

[m_steenbrugge]

Pretty new in the VW Buggy scene.

We're looking for a kit car manufacturer or supplier for a tubular chassis that replaces the original VW chassis (preferably shortend for buggy use).

I don't know if it excist? The kit car manufacturers I find always use the original VW Beetle chassis.

We would like a tubular chassis to accept Subaru running gear.

Does it excist for road legal registration?

Ok, thanks for the reply and warning.

Any other companies?

There was one at Stoneleigh last year.

The prototype was built by GBS.

@GTMdriver: I looked at the site of GBS, they make Sevens. Was the prototype for a Beetle chassis and Subaru running gear?

Thanks for the info. I send a message to GBS and got the same links back today.

It is indeed the Morton Minx buggy that uses the MGF as a donor.

With all the Subaru's driving around in the UK I had surely thought somebody had started to make a Subaru based chassis for buggy

This is what we would like to recreate
