| I'd like it more if the space between the deck lid and rear window was a rumble seat. Looks like of funky with all that dead space there. |

Yup, too much dead space between the window and the engine. disproportionate and imbalanced.

The unbalanced part is the weird hump in the rear profile caused by insisting on using a stock decklid.

If it were built by a VW guy- it would have a front hood on there like a Heb- not a decklid. I'll bet it was built by a hotrod guy who thought he'd expand his resume', but had no knowledge of VW history.

At least it doesn't look to have a water pumping V-8.  |
