My aluminium bike I made in 1984 ----Plus restoration

How the hell did you manage to hand machine those parts way back in 1984?
I've hand built my own car (including many of its components) taught myself milling on my own machine and scratch build model cars as a hobby, but I cannot machine to that standard - even now!
More importantly...lets see the car too! :shock:
Just checked out the photo again - it's obviously a Beetle of some form!
Oh, and bigger bike pics please...that work is awesome!

Yes, it is a Beetle show car that gets driven most weekends . I sometimes use the bike in my display as it is in theme with the bug, my beetle has over 4000 hours of custom machine work over the last 10 years and since 2004 has won around 130 car show trophys at VW shows and open street rod shows,all work is done on a manual mill and lathe with NO CNC. the work is also though out the under carridge, Thanks for your interest. to see more go http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3324199/1 ... gen-beetle

Lovely work ph...what are you running in it? I built a Beetle based Porsche RSK Spyder replica around 10 years ago (before I had my lathe and mill). Love it still and has made it to Le Mans three times with no probs. I'm doing modelling stuff now and am hoping to put a 1/8th Porsche RS60 Spyder into production...you may recognize these parts:

Wow, I would have respect for you crafting your own bike even if it looked like a hack.
But this is one of the best looking bikes I've seen, so I take my hat off for you.
