The story of converting Trixie, our ’65 Beetle, into eTrixie is done and dusted!
We’ve made a vlog for this final instalment so you can see eTrixie in action. It is a little sad that the work is over, but that said it is also great to be finished because every time I get behind the wheel it brings a huge smile to my face!
Now I’m having a wee rest before I start planning a spruce-up for the interior and exterior! Hope you enjoy the video:
