- Rich Olafsson's web site: This guy has a wicked Porsche speedster replica with a WRX motor and a porsche gearbox.
www.whm.com.au: Wayne Horsefall has been building buggies in NSW for decades and was the first to get a shortened buggy registered again recently. His business is in Ulladulla on the South Coast. He also markets a full length buggy and is very knowledgable and helpful.
www.beachbuggy.com.au: Beachbuggy Australia has been inexistance for a few years now at Currumbin on the Gold Coast. Like WHM they also are now marketing a full length body and were excellent to talk to when I visited them recently. They have the best looking full length shell available in my opinion. However if you really want to go wild, they also have plans to use a subaru 5 speed trans and bus reduction boxes for amazing results.
Both of the above companies have buggy kits that fully comply with current ADRs (Australian design rules).
Ashley Scotts Page: A guy From Swan Hill in Victoria who seems to have owned everything Volkswagen ever made. Check out his squareback.

www.offroadvw.net: An Australian Buggy and Baja page run by some crazy Queenslanders.
www.thunderranch.com: An American kit car site. check out the awsome Rsk and 550 spyder kits they make. Sadly the NSW RTA would just say no straight off.
Ed's cudtom bug build-up: Ed's Custom Beetle. This site shows the build up of a custom lo-rider bug. This car is one of the few who give Kimm Garland's Kombi a run for it's money in terms of imagination. This English guy proves yet again that the yanks are losing the plot when it comes to imaginatively modifying their VWs.
I don't particularly love V8s but these 2 following sites show a few amazing applications involving V8s in minis. The second one is a real work of art and seems as if it could be from the factory.
www.spagweb.com/v8mini/v8fools/index.htm: The roughest V8 mini deathtrap in the world.
www.oocities.org/jharkola/Viku2.html: Under no circumstances line this car up at the lights. It is the ultimate stealth machine.
Need to Dream?
Probably the most important thing about wanting to build cars, next to being a petrol head, is the ability to dream. These next 2 sites allow you to do just that.

This site is so good, it almost made me cry when I reconstructed my Old 67' beetle on it. It reminded me why I loved VW's in the first place.
Kleenex not included!

This is similar to the bug selector site only this time you get to play with porsches.
Enjoy!
