Tubular chassis for VW Beetle/buggy
Discussion
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?

The reason most kits use the Beetle floorpan is it's a loophole around having the thing IVA'd, so chances are if you're wanting a kit that's IVA'able that's all you will find.
If however, you're wanting a bespoke chassis to bolt your beetle suspension and drivetrain on and you can handle the rest and the IVA, etc, yourself, I could build you something similar to our buggy, although I'd guess you don't need it as strong/extreme.

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?The prototype was built by GBS.
