No doubt, I wouldn't either. But look up the "Coyote" by Nocturnal Motorsports. That's a properly executed rendition of the idea. Build a tube frame chassis maintaining the stock suspension pickups and driveline mounts. Stupid light, with a properly sorted driveline/suspension.
Watched that thing tear it up at a drifting event here in St. Louis, and it looked like an absolute blast!

That blue paint job is like an 11 year old's version of cool. 
As for the dune buggy, it would mess up my hair too much.

what you don't know is that this is Bam Bam Bigelow's car.
Who wants to tell him his car is ugly? Nice wheels though. Pricey..

As for the paint travesty, why not also put the dangling curtain-ball trim around the windshield, upholster in faux-fur, hang fuzzy dice from the rear-view mirror and call yourself "Huggy Bear"?

Why.....
Aren't there a million other new and old VW's that they could defile in such a way...
seems like a 996 would be a much better route. Being that the beetle is its pappy.

Is it bad that I love the wheels on this bug?
Any ideas where I can get something like those? I'm going for an English roadster look
