New to this.

This is my baby built on a 1969 Beetle Chassis just starting to get to grips with the rebuild, just had the chassis totally repaier and now starting on all the other bits.

The car is a FT Bonito a replica of Ford GT40 (cheap version).

will add some more pictures later as its is in bits at the moment been restored. I has a 1300 beetle engine so is very cheap to insure and run. Its not one of the greatest replicas of the GT40 but it is cheap and cheerful and it still turns heads.

FiberFab were the makers back in the 70's and 80's but they no longer produce the kit. I believe there are only 10 on the road in the UK they were more popular in Europe.

The basic shape of the GT40 is there, it was designed to be a 4 seater utilizing the Beetle chassis. I have currently done away with the back seat to conver to a two seater.
