Saw this on ebay this morning. Currently sitting at $950 with no reserve.
Only shows one picture from behind so not sure how much work would be needed.

Yeah I saw that last time it was advertised on there with lotz of questions being asked...I think he said that the piccies look alot better then it does up close. Still a nice looking bug tho especially for the price!
