Sweet baby jesus look at this!
Here is the dallas craigslist ad
http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/cto/5571563014.html
You can tell they smoke the bad crack due to the spelling of "Volskwaguen"
Oh and then they want 6K.....that's cute. I noticed the transformer badge. Whatever unfortunate alien transformer is trapped in there got screwed. ( insert bad pun about a transformation)

Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.
Do what you want. Ignore the elitists. Drive your VW. Enjoy life. |

I'm sure the original idea was better than the execution. The potential was great, the final result. Meh. Missing engine tin is a pet peeve...

Er...more storage space? Not sure how the modded rear wings help though.
I can almost smell the fibreglass from here.

I don't mind the concept, but why make it look like its taking a dump? Not that hard to set the stance up right.
