As much as I'm not a fan of the new beetle look, those are pretty sweet
Imagine one lifted with a big type 4 donk

Hey Joel thanks for the pic's but tell me more is that a fibre
glass kit that goes on the middle model (Old, middle and now latest model Beetle!) beetles frame using bits from the beetles body?

They look interesting. They seem to be an old air-cooled Beetle chassis with a body which looks a bit like a New Beetle. No actual New Beetle mechanical parts.

There built on the 90s mexican beetle/vocho balljoint/swing axle floor pans and have the standard 1600 fuel injected engine.

VW shut them down due to copy right issues by the looks of things.
