absolutely, full size. I digged it with a shovel 10+ years ago. BTW I´m 33. This room used to keep horses 50 years ago but about a year ago I sold my little 1 man company and insulated and now I can use it as a garage.
I´ll add a pics of that when floor was finished but walls were waiting...btw, same bug :

Yep, same bug.
I bought this car without an engine and put some poop together (1585cc) of used parts...It pulled 13s@quarter with some garret turbo and MS1
Then I painted it and went to type 4 engine and biturbo...unfortunatly still 13s then I chopped it, then I repainted it, then I trited first v8 engine and it pulled to 11s, then I added some nos and pulled 10s, then I turbocharged it and it made 9s so....I´m waiting for next year.
Some old pics:
and old video of first meters after putting together its first engine:

absolutely, about 70kg I think. It could be made of any other bugs body and keep my car alive but I couldn´t watch thouse awful weldings and extra unnessesary metal that somebody before me had welded to the car. My own creations were overbuilt too and few things was not as it should to be. We discovered that there was something wrong with right rear wheel...when it travelled up it turned inside also. (didn´t do that on computer screen and leftone doesn´t do that also. Im glad I couldn´t sell this car. There were more problems than I thaught. Now it will be like second and better edition of it and I keep the outfit as it was because people really like this car. But now when I`m buiding it once more it would be really easy to build more than 1 car if anybody interested please let me know.
