Default I saw this and needed to give it a shot
I came across this sexy beast and knew i had to photoshop it.
After working on http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/06/908rc06_03.jpg for about 30 mins, this is what i came up with. Sure, no widebody, or major mods yet, but i think it looks better now.

Edit: had to fix the link.

Not so easy to Rod a super beetle...having struts and all. But yeah it is mine. The one I am building is getting a Subaru STI engine...

Meh. How much does a beetle run for anyways? Id love to get one as a first car. Besides, chopping the fenders and swapping in a ford front axle cant be that hard, can it?

No not at all..just make sure you get a standard and not a super! You can pic up late models for pretty cheap 400-500 if you shop around.

Welcome to TR, Buggin. Saw your car on 27 not too long ago on my way home from work.

To the OP -- looks GREAT.

LOL...well lets see...a long block with low mile will go for $3000 and up. I saw one with 185K going for $2000 Not to mention you would be in the same boat I am in. You would have to find a tubo, header, alternator, blah blah.

If you do start looking make sure you find a complete engine. I got lucky with my STI engine, the kid thought it was out of a WRX so he sold it for $800!

-blackonefifty...are you usually headed North bound?
