Wow what's wrong with it? That price seems way too low. I actually like it a lot. Where's the hack saw?

 Hey That's not a BugaRu.... It's a BrataRu.. Actually I like it, and the price is right! Simply because it's like Jack. Different! Drop the nose, and put some wide Fatty Tires on the back of that baby, and it would have a totally radical look.  Anyone "Shawn" notice all of those other VDubs in the yard?  :icon_thumright:

If anybody wants to build one of these...I'm in (and I have the skills).  gifsawsall  With a little different roof transition, and the wood continued onto the door that could be an awesome car!

The best VW / woody I've ever seen is owned by a guy in Connecticut named Ernie. Saw this car at the litchfield show years back and it looked factory. It had the fabric roof with bows and mahogany panels just like a 1930s woody wagon. the back fenders were radiused  and sunk into the sides just like you would see on an old ford or packard. If done right they would be a great project. I'm going to have to go through all my old photos and see if I can find a shot of that one.

Just for the record...My mentor had a powder blue Squareback and a burgundy Fastback. He swore by those cars. I do like them and Weezer is one of the finest examples around. I just couldn't resist the jab  :icon_jokercolor:

(but I'd cut up a 57 vette if I thought i could make it better)
