I have wanted to mod this VW ever since I got it about a year ago and well finally had some late nights without sleep so decided to work on it! I had some green paint that I have wanted to use (even before SG decided he wanted some green painted cars I swear he likes green just a little to much!)

I did something a little different on this RC I added a dash, seats, roll bar, and the kicking Speakers in the back with the 2 huge amps! The Wheels are custom (Dub wheels) there are custom aluminum pipes, custom fin and paint job.

the before picture but with the added dub wheels!

and the new and improved VW

and now the kicking Speakers and amps

Ah man, that's the exact same color I tried to paint a Beetle, but it didn't come out because I tried to use engine enamel and it reacted. Now I have to know what kind of paint that is?

Nice work too, very realistic, like your Cuda. I like how you bring realism.

Wow, more green!!

I hope I don't overdose!!

The interior is killer. Its a bitch to get stuff like that into a clean, small, and tight package. Very nice, indeed.

Pretty cool mod Pimp! I would never had tried the Peugeots rear wing
on a VW but that's what we're about, new ideas and innovations

Are those Bit tyres you used? If so did you use ZZ hubs ?

Same rims that I used on my Nissan 350Z DT. They are Import Tunerz wheels.

there Dub Wheels and Tires they actualy fit and run the best of any of the Dub wheels I have used. edit Finks is right Import Tuner wheels not Dubs I have a little box full of wheels and they are mostly Dub but these were off the import tuner thanks for catching that Finks!

Now I have to know what kind of paint that is?

Actualy its Krylon in a Rattle Can I have been trying to get good paint jobs out of rattle cans and the results have been better then I thought they would. I also use a seceret to polish the paint up when dry!

here is a pic of the chasse with interior SG was right it was a real bitch to fit everything in!

Thanks for the comments Ya'll have been the reason I got back into 1/64 again and loving it!

I know ! I do interiors all the time, mainly to cut tops (conv, t-top, targa,etc)

Thanx, I knew the wheels where Import Tuners, I was just looking at some last weekend (again) I got so many, just don't have room for anymore. But the tyres looked like Bit rubber. I usually mod them to fit ZZ hubs, pop on some Bit tyres and I'm off. No balance problems ever.
