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. :rolleyes:

As for the dune buggy, it would mess up my hair too much. :p

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..

Should have had the "Bugster" body mod done first!

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"?

Bam bam! I remember back in the days...

Pedrof 04-24-2013 10:00 PM

Very nice! Im referring to the grey beetle...

Eric G 04-25-2013 06:07 AM

Sorry, but even if the owner is happy with this...it is hideous!

Perfectlap 04-25-2013 07:38 AM

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.

Now that I LOVE!!! I don't know if that is real or photoshopped, but that looks cool.

Squozen 04-25-2013 01:18 PM

Looks like a good job on the wrong car.

That is awesome! Don't think I would want to do it to my Boxster, but if I had the extra cash I would buy it. It has a great nostalgia factor.

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
