This is a brilliant post which I saw recently on RetroRides and had to post over here. The RR post is by Garry, here: http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=109145

The build thread is originally from the Samba: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=185257

What can I say, other than the fact that this is amazing?! Extremely impressive work. I'm sure it's probably a repost on here, but I thought that it was worth seeing again.



Found that pic randomly on Google and was curious.....turns out its a chopped down real Beetle, powered by a generator engine!
