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 would build that.....Good proportions and stance. Very clean and well thought out. Not sure I would do that same color, but having a hard time picturing any color that it wouldnt look good in.

Of course this is coming from a guy that has built and am building some "special" cars Laughing

P.S. Showed it to my wife and she loves it as well.

Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing as I scrolled through the photos. A few small changes could make a big difference.

Eh? Split panel with a bay front clip? Why? They couldn't find a suitable split front end?

Pretty sure it started as a baywindow. Look at the roofline crease.

It could have also been a Brazilian baywindow which came straight from the factory with a bay front clip and a split rear with bay tail lights, an odd factory mix of parts.
