Maluch JBeam rebuild

Vapordude will do all models I think, but if you want you can do the small stuff like headlight lids, rear coil springs or fixing the front quarter windows, or stuff like aftermarket hubcaps

 

Headlight lids are these things, should be easy:

Yeah they are pretty good, I just had to move them around a bit so they don't clip witht the front panel

 

The front quarter windows. They look decent from far away, but up close...

They have lots of missing pieces and random sticking out parts... Not sure what the author was intending to do here but definitely got it very wrong.
And also they don't quite reach the doors at the bottom

 

Happens on all bodies, it's an issue with the ST doors.

 

I started making some parts for baja version. It will be based on a real life baja Maluch and on the baja Piccolina, these parts are also based on the D-Series Zeta. Basically I want it to be different from the normal off-road version, so I'm adding some custom parts, we already have a few off-road versions that are almost the same so this will bring some variety.

 

Oh, then flip them and I'll see what I can do to make them visible on the inside later.

 

That looks a lot better from the outside now but still someone has to finish the other side of the model that is completely invisible, for me this is too messy to work on

 

Finished the Jbeam of the baja parts I have so far and started the config. It will have more custom parts later.

I need to make a Beetle engine swap for it now, based heavily on Piccolina engine because it's almost the same. It will share all parts with F2 engine because both are boxers so irl would be somewhat compatible. That also means more tuning parts for the F2 like people wanted (long blocks, exhausts, twin carburetor, race twin carburetor that the baja will probably use, all the rally carburetors swapped from I2 engines...)
--- Post updated ---
New stuff added

• Beetle engine
• Beetle engine mounts (only for tubular cradle)
• Stage 1, 2, heavy duty, ultra heavy duty and indestructible long blocks for boxer engines
• Beetle exhaust (only for boxer engines, it's a copy of the Piccolina exhaust lol)
• Beetle carburetor, dual and race dual carburetor, and rally carburetors for boxer engines
• Beetle transmission (only for boxer engines)
• Beetle final drive for all diffs

The Beetle stuff makes the car siginficantly more rear-heavy, which is realistic, the engine is over 2 times bigger in displacement than stock after all
