The ass of the white car in front of the Thing. It looks like a fasty? I'm browsing from my mobile, so i could be wrong?

Looks like a fasty to me. :roll:
Is that perhaps an SP next to the thing? I can't see through all the dust.
The only substitute for cubic inches are more cubic inches.

It doesn't look too bad either, can't se the interior. Where do you manage to find all these gems? I can't imagine you go knocking on every door in some obscure little town and hope for the best.If you do happen to find some more lying around, or in pieces please keep me in mind.
I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

Heard about it by accident. It is the later version, with the large Beetle rear lights

The wheels on the yet to be confirmed Fasty tend to spoil it a bit. Smack on some decent Ross-style (please correct me if I'm wrong with the spelling), and I reckon it could be quite a looker.

Large taillights make it a thing. Later models from the same year had both large and small tail lights, it depends it which country they were built.

I think those large lights where fitted afterwards, large tail lights = large wrap around front flicker lights.

The dashboard is also missing a brake fail light which the american spec had.

I think its a euro spec with large taillights fitted afterwards.

I see someone has played with 181. Heater to the front are gone and side mounts for the canopy are wrong. I see its also had a coat of paint after it left the factory.

Those wheels are off a 1989 Opel Kadett 2.0 GSI Boss - the Opel guys will go ape for them

I'd lower that Fasty and drive it on those very same wheels! :shock:
If it's too low, you're too old :twisted:
