That is the cleanest, sickest Volkswagen I've seen. Absolutely a work of art. Love the color and the white interior is nice.

Finally a beetle, i have seen beetles modded to be either supercar porsche-like, a lowrider-type cruiser or offroad buggies. I was surprised you didnt cover any beetles, until now. There is so much mod potential, engine swaps are usually modded stock engines, other volkswagen engines, LS or wankel rotary, various V8s and V6s, inline-4s, porsche engines, Subaru impreza engines, turbocharged and supercharged, and nowadays electric motors man these have a lot of potential

When i first went to high school.... Ours went 10th-12th , i was in 10th grade but only 14 and had to ride the bus some until i could find a friend to ride to school with .... Anyway there was this group of juniors that all had bad ass bugs and parked and hung out right in front of our school. I have loved bugs every since. Close i ever had was had a fiberglass body dune buggy called the Boon Duggie. It was titled as a 62. I am stoked with how he has this car set up. Sweet. Oh yeah by the way i bought my first car a 67 mustang for 950 bucks summer between 10th and 11th grade. So i actually started driving to school when i was 15 before i even had a license. Was only barely 17 when i graduated. Was married with a kid on the way too. Grew up fast. Way too fast to be honest but i did it.

These cars are FUN to drive. I've owned a WV type 3 squareback. It was shortened 10cm in the back. The roof had bin lowered 5 cm. The entire car was lowered on 5 spoke chrome rims. It was shaved all over and had, what I believe was an old Porsche replica front on it. Central locking system and power windows. It was double carburated and had a sports exhaust, which made it scoot, since it only weighed around 1750 pounds. And man it turned head. I truly wish I never sold it. About this bug though, I understand the competition he explained about the venting holes. But the hood is over done (in my opinion). But those venting lines in the front fender looks absolutely killer! The entire build is just a completely unique little bug, I wanna bet every one turns their heads to see. Very cool car!

Man in the late 70s and 80s bugs were really cool little cars, and was offered one to buy a friends real clean 70, but me being 6'5 made it a little bit 😝 tight to drive, awesome memories back then driving up and down Mulholland drive. Also, what I remember parts for the bugs were cheap, a new or very clean used fender would sell for 10 used 18-22 new and some crazy lol😂 just the perfect little project for a high school kid starting out with his or her pride and joy. Such a cool time 👍🤘🤘😎❤ Drive safe big kahuna.

OG draw through turbo with the modified Weber carb single barrel. I had a similar set up DCOE WEBER 28mm chokes for better throttle response with the Rayjay turbo 1st gen Turbnetics Delta Gate driver adjust boost, Mk1 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Ford Kent made about 175hp pump gas, but if you put 100 octane or real leaded gas in easy into the 200hp range with 1580 lbs car lol
