I think its time to close this one.

After a massive struggle I managed to get all the papers in order.
It took one willing police officer at police clearance to help me.

A massive thanks to all involved in building this beetle.
Art Mince for giving me first option to buy the beetle
Sean for all the help and guidance with steps for paperwork
TonyZ for the engine build, will post a video up
Pierre Bugger for sorting the gearbox
Rui Callooker for parts and odds and ends
Dave Rowley for parts and machining of bits that wouldn't fit
Titan Customs for the spray job and metal work
and to everyone I might have missed
