Cool 71 VW Beetle.

Always have a soft spot for Bugs, even if they do drive like crap
This one's rather different though

Beer keg fuel tank in the rear



Looks tidy enough :



In the front where the spare wheel should be is a blown LS V8



Mind you the chassis isn't very standard either :



I envy people with this much Engineering talent

Not keen on the grill shape or the "eye lids" but pretty otherwise.

Love the Keg-o-fuel idea
Straight out of the Mad Max guide to wasteland engineering that is
It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...

Without doubt the coolest beetle ever.

That beer keg looks like it's seen a few knocks !

EDIT

THat drivers door mirror looks like a bit of an "after thought".
