Reckon it would look sweet in Black with some orange trim 
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

Suspension travel looks somewhat limited?

That is deffinately unique... although would it pass IVA with all those sharp edges on the bodywork.... :s

Kinda looks like the front of a K1 Attack and the back off a Chop Shop special.

How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

IVA should not be require as it built on a uncut cut bug chassis, need finished then just an MOT
Heaps of work to do, really needs a full strip down and rebuild
Don't think its worth £1000 more like £250 - 300 tops

WOuld be worth more as an IVA job rather than an MOT =
That with a V5 saying "SUPER CAR" or something would look better than VW BUG
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

I love the body design but a Bug chassis?? Ugh! I doubt that the handling would match the looks
If it was a spaceframe then I would be all over it!
Cheers,

I actually really like that... wonder if he'd swap for a corvette project lol.
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

Not too sure about the mechanicals/chassis but I love the body shape.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

The beetle chassis apart from the engine mounts ends before the rear wheels, hence the need for a space frame to support the back, see pic
As for handling, well they do race them and the later versions had the same rear layout as 911's
The front suspension, though heavy is not bad at holding the road and is used in formula v cars
