Title: Cool VW Concepts
Post by: Luftkraft on February 11, 2010, 18:38:57 pm
I'm a sucker for cool concepts based on aircooled VWs. Some of my favourites are the excellent drawings by Pascal Meslet in the SUPER VW Magazine, surely known by most of us european loungers. There's just so much inspiration in it... the same goes for the work of http://www.chrisclarkcustoms.com/volkswagens (http://www.chrisclarkcustoms.com/volkswagens).

One of my life long dreams as a type 34 aficionado is the build of a type 34 based shooting brake. There used to be a drawing in the german VW speed mag, but I couldn't find it anywhere. So I took the trusty Busselecta and with a little help of photoshop I came up with this concept for RAZORBACK. And while you're reading this, I'm firing up the angle grinder and start cutting up my Ghia...  ;)

By the way, feel free to post concepts you like!
