Here's a few V Ws:
The red is a new beetle from RRR with some decals and wheels added.
The bus is a Dash body, top half painted with DayGlo orange paint and flower decals added.
The other 2 are Ghia Dash bodies with some wheels added.

Hey 'doba, Nice wheels. I really don't like the rear Dash bumper just stuck on and I know you didn't do it. Cool car anyhow. I am trying my best to get some VW's out there like you.

I think the bumpers where they are on the Dash VW make them more durable. Hanging out a bit farther may look accurate, but you sacrifice the longevity that way... Herbie looks pretty cool set up like that Doba!! I likes!! :thumbsup:

Luckily the Cal Look works as there is no bumper to bumper action. I like the bumpers. I am working on the vintage t-bars also. I have not seen very many originals with all of the bumper pieces either. Euro bumpers are easier like Claus stated. They just look wrong flat on the body. I don't want a car that looks like it has been rearended wrecked from the factory. JMO

Most of the grey backs here will remember "Humpty" who had a great fall.

Humpty was reassembled on a dare.

Proper rockers and flares were added as well as a blue drag arm and some super ll magnets. I swear I'll finish it someday...LOL...crazy fast and loads of fun just the way it sits.

errr.... Make that Germany. The first 2 here are castings by Claus. The bug he detailed quite nicely ( ala Baja ) and kindly sent to me as a gift, and the bus came across the pond as a resin kit which I later detailed for use at Land Ho. The third is a bug body kit from Dash which I did up in basic VW beige and racing trim. nd

BTW: Great cars and great thread here :thumbsup::thumbsup:... There's gotta be more than this though, so dig deep guys.... we wanna see 'um ALL.

I'e shown this before but would be a cool HO scale bike although a little large. I think it could be done on a custom HO scale. Sorry, Non VW.

This time!

Technically no; that is a water pumper...affectionatly known as a "toilet" in air cooled cirlces. Philosophically that makes it an Audi regardless of what the marketing department wanted you to think. Lies, lies...all of it lies! :p

The easy identifier:

Do it leak antifreeze?

Do it have a radiator?
