My 1960 Volkswagen Beetle!
I've converted it to right-hand drive and added a towing hitch!

Good mod. How does the towing mechanism work?

At first I thought it was just the same as the actual set sold by LEGO which confused the heck out of me. I like your modifications. Was the glove box in the original design or did you add that as well?

Aah well, he still added his own touch to it and that does indeed make this his own creation then.

Re: My 1960 Volkswagen Beetle!
Could you post a picture of the trailer here? I see it in the background of the first picture but its kind of far off.

Re: My 1960 Volkswagen Beetle!
Here's my single wheel trailer. It has a removable lid and a flexible 'light cord'!
Taken with my Nintendo DSi's camera, so please excuse the quality!

Re: My 1960 Volkswagen Beetle!
The pictures are good considering its from a DSi. I think it would be even better if the trailer is a bit bigger. Just my opinion ;)BrickWild wrote:Here's my single wheel trailer. It has a removable lid and a flexible 'light cord'!

If only the DSi camera has flash, the pics would be much better!swfan wrote:The pictures are good considering its from a DSi. I think it would be even better if the trailer is a bit bigger.
