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.

From the back, it looks like a beetle melted into a wax Ghia. I never saw the vertical headlight treatment before. Interesting.

The windshield squirters tie the whole package together, obviously a professional design!

I'm interested in what else is in that yard, looks very "interesting".

Those "squirters" look a lot like the gas cap on my old R90. Maybe dual gas caps?
