Exterior and Interior
While this particular Beetle is a resto-mod it’s nice to see that there haven't been extensive changes done to its body. This 1985 Volkswagen Beetle resto-mod sports a gray exterior; the color is almost similar to an Audi's Nardo Gray. The chrome trim has been deleted with the car now sporting black accents. The headlights have been upgraded to LED lights with both the front and back being smoked to match the exterior color. This Beetle also has a lovely stance thanks to a slight negative camber and sports black and silver Rostyle styled MS wheels. The custom work is mainly done on this car's interior. The red interior has been freshened up with more supportive and comfy seats holding you and your passengers in place. Sitting in the driver's seat, you would notice the dashboard seeing some work done to it but still sporting the original speedometer. The upgraded Grant steering wheel and gear knob provide a sporty outlook and complete the interior features of this car.

The beating heart of this 1985 Volkswagen Beetle resto-mod is a flat-four engine providing that iconic Volkswagen rumble. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission.
