The Kit
The Hoppa Street Buggy offers Fun in the Sun motoring, allowing you to stand out in the crowd while letting your individual taste and style to shine through.
Hoppa Street Buggy with Phoenix Coachworks offers a service whereby the Kitcar can be built in stages, so that costs can be staggered.
Kitcar Construction
To start a basic Kitcar build you would need to obtain an old VW Beetle with torsion bar suspension. Then, remove the body down to the chassis, the chassis would then need to be shortened by 400mm from behind the handbrake area and strengthened with a spaceframe. We can offer a service to do this or VW specialists can also do this for you. It’s then a case of bolting the Hoppa Street Buggy fibreglass bodyshell to the spaceframe and building the vehicle up to your requirements.
All suspension, engine and transmission, along with steering, electrics and switches can be carried over from a donor vehicle.
The Hoppa Street Buggy is left or right hand drive! The difference is a cutout for the steering wheel column during construction, no problem!
Rather than a “box of parts” ready for assembly, we provide the parts on the Price Lists, allowing you to build the Hoppa Street Buggy to your own specification, time and budget.
