Below the window looks like everyday type 3 rear quarter. Maybe a grafted rear window/roof section?

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 suspected photoshop, but not that it was a Peugeot. Weird that the first photo looks to have been taken in 1960=ish.

The "mid" sticker on the subframe could be Mid-Engineering, who made such rear/mid-engine V8 conversions for Corvair, kit cars, etc in the '70's. |

The steering wheel and engine look like Nash Metro.

4 lug wheels and straight frame rails, maybe a Crosley Farm-O-Road? I believe you could mount a sickle-bar to them, it would fit with the rest of the lawnmower/garden tractor theme going on in that picture. |
