That right there is the Bug I always dreamed of building! In a different color though. as much as I like orange it does not suit the car.
And by the way I defy anyone to build one from scratch that cheap! |

I don't think the front flows with the rest of the car. I do like the rear with the enclosed area behind the top. That looks great. I would love to see it with a regular or at least, less pronounced front end.

| Buy it, put an early hood back on and the right front fenders and you have a pseudo Hebmuller. Rumor has it that these conversions are really hard to keep cool engine-wise though. No vents for it to breathe... |

One easy quick fix it to step the license plate out about 1 1/2 inch with spacers, then cut a large hole, just smaller than the license plate, behind the plate for air to enter the top side of the engine. Hidden, but effective.
