C1 resin trans kit but I didn't us the interior as it left no room for an engine. Since its a van I used a late model aircooled engine from the t3 bus so its double the usual horsepower for a beetle and a lower engine so the floor isn't too high. Speaking of the floor it a very heavily modifed one from the t3 camper so i could use the engine bay. I've also modifed a set of 70s beetle bumpers to look like early golf gti bumpers. I'm not sure what the wheels are from but they are heavily modified at the rear for maximum dish. Its also slammed but I'm sure you expected that, lol. So thats the 5th vw project i have on the go just now and i think I've managed to keep them all different enough to keep them interesting

Think about World War Two. Many have speculated what humankind would be like today if the Axis forces took over the world after winning WWII. What about automobiles? Germany made the Beetle, which was amazingly reliable. They probably wouldn't think so highly of American cars. But they wouldn't want to just throw the American cars away. So I've made a prototype. Take an American car. Oh, here's a Monogram 40 Chevy! How ugly! Germans wouldn't take so kindly to the American front-engine style. So what would they do? Put a VW engine in it, in the rear, where an engine belongs! They would put the headlights on the fenders, inset, where they belong! American seats? Pshaw! VW seats all the way! Pictures soon to follow.
