Although I designed and printed parts for my models before, it's the first time I'm trying a full car. Bought the file on cults and I must say it's very very basic, but it captures the shape of the vw squareback so it'll have to do.

The under body was just flat so I designed my own with some basic details. The interior is also just basic shapes but I am going to leave it as is.

For wheels I'm going with Porsche fiches.

Also trying to design a roof rack.

The idea is to make it some kind of surf/cal look.

I'm sure it will be far from perfect, but there are no kits available so at least it will be unique.

Looks good. For something that started out like a europen model a there are a million n 2 variations for VWs.

Love it!  I had a 66 Fastback that I'd love to recreate if I could find something like you printed.  I'm following and good luck on the build!

Started to paint some parts, the body got a coat of white as a primer, the final color is going to be bright (haven't decided yet) so i need a white base.

the rest is just semi gloss black for the interior and floor pan, and rubber black for the tires. 

my biggest problem which i haven't found a solution to yet is the glass, will need to figure it out at some point.
