I remember that car. I still have the issue of VW Trends it was in as a matter of fact. It was one of the 1st inspirations to build my super beetles up especially the flip front end conversion. Did you build it or buy it from the other owner?

I stumbled across the VW Trends issue that the car was in and thought I'd share them to show what the car looked like in its former glory!!!
This car was truly and inspiration for me to fix up my 1303's! Can't wait to see what it looks like after the revamp! Enjoy!
