This one is electric!
Hi Guy's,
A Friend of mine copied my GPW for his son and he installed an electric motor in it. Unfortunately young kids grow fast and he does no longer really fit in the Jeep. The Jeeps featured in a television program on Dutch telly. Have a look at the pics P9020006.jpg P9020008.jpg P9020011.jpg P9020014.jpg Cheers,

Colin,
I believe it took him some six months to build. Not full time but on and off. He restores classic cars for a living and has no problems with making a new fender or door panel. I have seen work that looked better than new coming from his hands. A true old fashioned craftsman. I wish I had half his talent/skill with sheet metal.
But your Jeep looks good too! Your son will be thrilled. I suddenly remembered a Jeep I saw at Beltring a couple of years ago. Hang on, looking for pics.......... PICT0146.jpg PICT0143.jpg PICT0144.jpg PICT0145.jpg Found them! This took the builder more than a year if I remember correctly. Cheers,

Just remember what you built it for.
You will know on Christmas day, that you've done a great job.

Colin,
There is absolutely no need to feel embarassed. I was not trying to put your work down. What you made for your son is a fantastic present that he will thoroughly enjoy, I'm sure of that.
 His friends will be asking their dad's to make them one....And don't forget you only did it in a week. Not 6 months or a year. And I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy Green New Year!! Cheers,

Colin,
It's amazing what some people can produce in their spare time. I allways enjoy looking at and admiring things like this. Maybe one day, should I ever get a grandson....
 Cheers,
