Every time I see one of these projects, my only thought is, "That cost a lot of money and time. How could a group of people proceed with such a project without somebody saying, 'Wait a minute, guys.'?"

It's like sitting on the wrong end of a branch as you saw it off the tree. Doesn't anybody eventually see the error of their ways? I'm mystified every time.

So, you're saying, that it won't just buff right out?

There's one saving grace - the guy didn't start with a real 356. Though, old bugs are getting more rare too.

Do the owner a favor and remove the fire extinguisher. You can't take any chances with something like that.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.

I sorta like it, but would never destroy an old VW to build it.
If local and cheap enough, I would definitely pimp it around town.

Odie refused to even consider riding in that, and he likes riding around in cars:

Odie is a Labradork, and has very low standards, hence the "Cruiser. BTW that picture is about 15 miles from Santa Cruz Calif.
