Easily one of my favorite builds!! This is such a cool car and kudos to the owner for breathing new life back into this cool rare car! I wish I could see this beauty in person! _________________ PNW Dub Folk & Kitsap dub Folk (KdF)

May i request some REAL wheels. like gas burners, or ercos. maybe some porsche pattern americans. fuchs were played out in the 90s. now they are more common than stock steel wheels. blech. _________________ Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

Very interesting car, this forum needs more topics like this and the VW38 thread. The slam-it-on-earlies photoshop antics are kind of annoying but it's good to see the builders share their work with us regardless. _________________ Check my classifieds for kewl gauges:

Ah, it was just in fun. I'm a stock guy too and there is no way I would say do that to this car. There have been a few times I've seen a slammed beetle or bus that doesn't look half bad. |

The Kohlruss is finished and he is already driving it.
I still have to take pics of it, last time we were driving it I was too excited and forgot to take some......
Maybe he will take it to next years Bad Camberg too. |

At the risk of being boo'd and hissed at, but doesn't the design of the rear of the car remind you of a dog that has worms, scooting acros the lawn? Just an observation ...as he ducks in the corner dodging spoiled fruit...honestly it's a nice car.... it has a great personality.... |
I was thinking from the a- pillars back is the nicest part of the car, stylized swooping rear..... its more the front that looks fugly... |
