An odd mix of shiny over-priced chrome crap (on the engine), shiny paint, and a complete disregard of care for structural integrity.
I like that the hole forward of the driver's door hasn't even been filled with something terrible like spackle or expanding foam. (unless that's intended as the foot-well fresh-air vent?  )
Wait, what even holds the gas-tank in with the front-clip missing?!
Well, aside from the filler neck, I mean...

The 1493cc must refer to the volume of metallic-steel-gray spray paint used to accomplish the "rebuild".

Sorry, but it looks like a nice hot rod with hemorrhoids.

Stubby coffin, just bury the whole thing as-is if you get in a wreck.

Wouldn't think making the rear window smaller would be properly legal, given safety standards and such. Unless, of course, that's an air-cooled Beetle chassis with the new-beetle body grafted on. Certainly a weird blend.
