He's probably just wondering why someone would install HQ Premier headlights upside down on a bug

Not wanting to offend, they are trying to tread lightly with their replies (as am I). I know everyone has their own likes and dislikes, but your car
is different to what I think most people want a VW Beetle to look like.

That's the thing with this car, it doesn't look the same as every other beetle. This car is for someone who wants to be different.
Still looks nice, even next to a Delorean...
PS if you want to know why someone would put HQ headlights in a beetle, the best bet would be to ask Volksvair, He'd know...
PPS FYI the headlights are brand new, so not old shit ones off a wreck or anything.

Ok ill say it, you don't have a hope in hell at selling it for 9k, I doubt it would go for 3k even then someone would only buy it and replace the
ugly bits.
Sorry but its just what everyone else is thinking.

Its on ebay for 4k, So i guess its not too far off the mark
Other than the guards the rest of it is pretty much standard, and whats more in good condition and the engine was recently reco'd and runs like a
charm.
Just put the post here if someone was a little bit interested in it. At this point I just want it out of my Garage.

Fair enough then.
If someone does buy it with the intention of replacing all the ugly bits, Or you can't sell it and it gets parted out,
I'd be very very interested in the guards and bonnet.
I have an Oval beetle that they would look great on

does kinda look like an Ed Roth car from the front, maybe that what they were going for? (had to google that)
I bought the car as a project from Frank(Volksvair) and he had a corvair engine in it. Had the rear skirt removed, when i got it, but that is fixed
obviously.
First car i've done from ground up.(Sold the orange parts beetle for 600 bucks with no engine, so its really strange that no ones interested in this
one considering its just a beetle with some weird guards.)
Still there arn't many shifting on ebay ATM. Lets see how we go!

That price is the parts price! Buy it and strip it if that what you want. Shame there was a lot of work put into it.
