Bad ass bug! It's like a Rat Fink beetle...

Nice shots. Unfortunately, it looks like your bug has cancer (or what we here in the Pacific Northwest of the US call "body rot"). When my squareback started looking like that, I sold it off to a guy who restores them as a hobby, but haven't seen the end result. Good to see the old ones on the road. Love the cooler.

I love that bug. Westy you car is the cause for my new found addiction to old VW. My wife would like to have a word with you.

Congrats on the calander.

very very cool VW. I have always been a big fan of the "rat rod" style beetles. The setting is very appropriate for it too. I might try to find one next summer as a cool little car to have. The rust gives it character, I would just hate to have one with TOO much rust. Congrats on the calender

cheers guys, yeah i loved the character of mine, the fact that i can use it anywhere and not have to worry about someone bashing thier door into it in a car park, mines had a ground up resto, just the paint was left, so underneath its as good as new!!

ah your my freaking hero! I love how you re did the car except for the body. Those would be my exact plans. Are those original porsche wheels btw? I like the 2nd shot better than the first but thats just my opinion.

Thats sooo cool, I love the fact the underside is mint as but the shell is tatty!

very cool bug. congrats on the calendar.

i will have to give you serious propz on the V-dub. it looks awesome.

who is the model??

^ I believe it's the model's car, I could be wrong though. I can't believe that thing is mint underneath but the body panels are rusting! I wouldve left it that way too!
