Well done if you are into that look. Reminds me of my great grandmothers hard candy bowl.
I enjoy the rear look. Could be super cool with a repaint and toned down interior.

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.

When I saw the first pic I thought "there's no VW in there" until I noticed the exhaust.
That's a lot of work to make an ugly car, hopefully someone built a beach buggy out of it and put it out of its misery
