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. |

Ah, well I'll have to blame the web-site for that one, that was listed under VW!

Looks like it is so ashamed that it is trying to eat itself.

I kinda like where they were going with that, loose the nasty Rossi headlights for some original uprights (or maybe slopers), change the wheels and drop it 4 inches and it'd be a nice looking ride.

"Would cost $250,000 to build...." Yeah, and about $2.50 for a gallon of gas and a match to put it out of its misery!

Fortunately a deluxe was not sacrificed for this build.
Don't get me wrong here, this thing looks to be well built. But if I was going to spend $54K on a bus, this one would not be it. |
