This is a much better conversion

Might be in the minority but I think that looks awful. Just jars with the rest of the design for me.

Just came across this lovely E31 BMW M8 from Manhart for sale, not cheap, but its like new and with the M5 V8 so 420hp and ow, a manual. mmm

This was on my walk yesterday.
Given the level of patina and surface rust, I think it was modified years ago.

I debated which thread to put it in, but decided that on balance, if I was going to modify a beetle, I'd go the Baja bug route too.

Love that

Now that's terrible, far too Zantia/Rover-ish.

The other blue one is hideous too.

Used to love these as a kid.

There were 3 in my town alone during the late 80's / early 90's - can't remember when I last saw one.

Don't agree at all. Original is really quite nice, buttresses included. That car looks pointlessly terrible.
