I remember I was the one that originally brought that car back to life sort of. Rescued it from sitting under a lean-to where it had been and would probably still be if I hadn't have started on it. That was about 6 or 7 years ago IIRC. I did a bunch of bodywork on it, welded the dash up (not my finest work) and all the trim holes too (I think) and was about to dump a watercooled Jetta engine in it or that was the plan at least. I ended up ditching the project, and loaded it into the back of my truck and drove it up to Salmon Arm in the box of my truck. I wish I had a picture for every funny look or thumbs up I got on that drive! It looked ridiculous having a beetle in the back of a Dodge truck. There were no fenders or anything as it was JUST the shell but looked funny regardless.  Some douche-bag that was on the forum a while back bought it after Jason painted it and tried to sell it for a million bucks after that. I think Danny had it for a while too but not sure. I could be wrong on the timeline but that's what I remember.

I'd like to know where this thing is too!  iagree

Mark Douglas(Guy with the Red BMW) Sold it to somebody on Craigslist... Unsure where it went however he swore up and down the car had rotten heater channels? Which seemed like total bs to me..

Went from Al to Mark. Then it went on Craigslist forever. Mark was NOT a vw guy and totally kinda misrepresented his car. You could always track down Mark. He's at BCbimmers.com

I'd go on there but he banned my ass haha
