Most people get the retro styling thing soooooo wrong (Prowler, SSR, 2001-2005 T-Bird the to name a few)....THAT VW roadster is almost perfect - they blew it with the rear bumper - integrating a front bumper in the back would have worked much better IMHO...and theres one or two little things, but otherwise great work..


Agreed. Rear bumper cutting into the fenders is weird.

I tried to find more info about it online but to no avail. Anyone have a link to more details?

Dan

BTW, in my opinion, this is definitely NOT a homemade bastard or abortion! More like a coachbuilt or special, similar to a Hebmuller or Dannenhauer.

I'm trying to figure out if they used a modern car main body/dash and interior and put on the modified vw parts parts and pan. Looks like some modern roadster with retro peices added to it. Much like a miata, solstice/opel, or ????

Old meets new? Works for me this way, but I can see a more retro dash as well.

I like where that's going. Not sure how those rear side windows are going to turn out, but it sure looks like it's going the right way. Just needs a similarly competent builder.

I wonder what adapters were used for the six lug wheels? I like the tires, but that is about it.

A "little" overdone? Shocked Kind of like the Titanic took on a "little" water... Laughing

Usually I can find some redeeming points in most cars..This one reminds me of how my little brother used to glue every piece that came in the old AMT 3-n-1 model car kits on the model...

Looks like it needs a Mr. Fusion sticking up out of the rear.

Are the hoses to fill or drain the water from the tail lights to the fenders?

I think it's a P-hop and not sure where it should be posted
but wanted to share the awesomeness of the idea.
