The body is from the Airfix plastic 1:32 kit. The chassi is from an old Scalextric Ford Escort and was bought from http://www.pendleslotracing.co.uk/. It has the perfect wheelbase but needs a lot of trimming to fit to the body. The green colour on the body is airbrushed with real car paint.
The wheels, axles and gears are from the Ninco Classic Porsche. Interior is actually made of paper, has chairs and backseat folded and then it's painted black. The steering wheel comes from the Airfix kit. The driver from Ninco. The body posts are made of styrene tubing.
I thought the Scalextric motor was a little over kill in the VW. It was simply to quick. I took the small rectangular motor from a Pinkkar Ferrari 250 and built a steryne motorcasing so it fitted in the Scalextrics chassi holder without modification to the chassi.
Another thing I have done to stabilize the car is to mount the front axle in brass bushings so the axle doesn't tilt.
