Hi there!
I'm the owner of the Radbak (hence my name here with an added C).
I'm from France near Paris.
This car is a looong project wich will never be finished (by me).
It's a too long story to be told here, but in few words:
I started the project in 91, and gave up just after Bug jam 2000.
(It won Best Modified Type3 and Volksworld special award, not bad for an unfinished car).
Since then, I have drove the car maybe 2 times just a couple of miles, changed the front beam for a Type1 one and the car stays on my garage the rest of the time.
So it still perfectly new (and unfinished )
I've no more place, money, tools, desire to finish it, so I'm thinking about selling it.
That's how I found this board, just after a google search about my car.
(Thanks for the pics Danny Lord! )
Here some pics I took after the type1 beam conversion 2 or 3 years ago:
I need to put a new battery and I will take better pics in few days...
If anyone interested by the car, I'm open to any serious offer...
here is a link with pics and specs and mods of the car (not updated):

PS: Is anyone having the Volksword issue covering BugJam 2000, I would love to see a scan of it!
Any pics of my car at Bugjam 2k is welcome too!
(of course my camera broke at the event, so I've got no pics of it )
