Interesting that the center doors look really well done. Or they have 10 lbs. of bondo in them.

As I parked outside the Snowmobile club's lounge, the other members, barely concealing their child-like wonderment, uttered in perfect unison:
"The fuck is this?"
Needless to say, I want one |

nice to see, I've had this 'vision' for many many years..
except mine was a long body with hardtop and a Suby mid engined.
I like me some heat.
the marketing would be for sportsmen and fire/rescue with a Truggy body
possibly snow mobile wrecker services as well.

Not home made (well not deliberately), but I think it belongs here;

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.

So, we are just going to start posting pictures of anything here now? How about a beetle with type 3 hub caps or one with a broken tail light lense?
Yeah, it's hilarious that it still drives, but there is a thread already for smashed up VW's, that's where this belongs. _________________ Formerly known in the forums as "OVALTEEN"

I didn't know there was a thread for smashed VWs, maybe this is more appropriate?

The nose looks Pontiacish and the dash looks Fieroish.
