My next drag beetle build.

Now the frame is 99% done
When I lifted it, I was worried because it seemed heavy, So I brougt my 2 bathroom scales and measured the weight.
The result was 140kg and 50:50 weight ratio. (138,7kg actually and front was 1kg heavier)
My last car was made of steel, that was thicker and was only 20kg heavier. I was hoping 30kg less weight but nothing to do. There are still more pipes and sheetmetal covers than my last car had. Also the endplate for connecting transmission was attached so the diffrece is atleast 25kg compared docol vs steel. Its still cheap place to lower the weight. That 25kg cost me about 1000€ (pipe material price difference) Later I´m sure, I can´t find a place where I can get so cheaply some weight off, its 50€ per 1kg, its good balance I quess.
Also you can see something new there: Anti roll bar, I made it from bmw axle, my last car had none of these.
