    I have a 48 Austin and I was trying to figure that thing out for a minute. Not bad looking for a vw convertion.
     
  4. I think I just threw up a little in my mouth
     
  5. How could one lower and insult the fantastic A-40 by grafting it to a roller skate. UGH! Im glad my A-40 is no longer with me and cant see this, OH the HUMANITY!
    Doc.

    Actually, not a single REAL austin part was used. Fibergl*** front parts and hand formed steel on the doors and quarters. The grille is a part of a corrugated drainage pipe cut to fit. He told me he's going to do a chop on it and notch the roof a little later.

    Nice V Dorset. I guess after it's chopped it may resemble Mazmanians "football" Austin.

    Funny looking. I think if he should have started his build (or mounstrosity) with an earlier VW. The have the flat gl*** in the front unlike the Super Bettle's round newer looking windshield. . . . once chop it will look nice, I still like it though.. . :D
