Not perfect for sure, but it doesn't look all that bad to me.

That one must be built on a bug pan, as opposed to a complete tube chassis ala Beck. It should be mid engine. The proportions are F'd. Too short out front, too long out back.

Too short out front, too long out back. i agree. it looks to be a nicely done car. why wouldn't they put some caps on the wheels to "finish it off". cheap tires? |

The vin is from a 1969 standard beetle,...think
I'm not sure it's barf material, but the rear engine throws the proportions way off, and it looks a little deformed. it's no beck, for sure. BTW, i would still drive it. |

That's a Perry kit, a far cry from a Beck or a Vintage...

The extra 8" or so behind the doors is what throws it off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

"Authentic Porsche Gauge instrument panel"? Maybe not. The VIN is from a Super Beetle. If it has a torsion beam front axle, the VIN is fake, leading to other potential problems down the road.
