But I have a New Beetle Body, not an old one.

that would be a cool mod!

I don't know if you guys remember me saying I had plans for my beetle or not in this thread:
http://bitpimps.lixlink.com/pages/phpFo ... php?t=1143

but I too need the "old style" beetle look...
so I've put it off to the side until I can think of something, though nothing good has come to mind yet so I guess I might as well spill the beans.

I wanted to build a baja beetle from the 80's.
remember them?
rear motor lid cut out...
huge exhaust pipe running straight up out the motor with a friggin coffee can on it...

damn it!!! I'm still gonna do it one day! lol

That's Cool

Hey that's a pretty cool modification.

I believe the original body was the Toyota SUV bB correct?

Looks pretty cool though.
