That thing is disgraceful.

Eh, it's not that bad. I just have a problem with the way they're trying to represent the car as 99% original when it clearly (to anyone familiar with VW's) .. isn't.

I didn't notice the aftermarket peashooter-style muffler, and I deliberately didn't mention the 12V conversion, the missing wiper arms, or how the 135-series tires on the front are a bad idea. At least the heater box outlets on the fan shroud are blocked off...
