I don't think there are really al of specific plans for a 'pypkar' as we know it easily available, but with your Beetle chassis as base, and the seats, suspension, gear box, engine, gear lever, pedals and steering in place it is just a matter of building 'around' it? Shouldn't be to difficult to draw one on scale, or even build a scale model like a 'draadkar'? A good pipe bender and some adequate welding skill will just make it so much easier :roll:

A few ideas:
