Dan, it is a proxy for VW Kaefer in Hamburg. It takes place in Hamburg on September 15, 2018.
all kind of VW Beetle, wheel base not to altered, no top chop, rest is more or less free.
here“s a link, sorry, only in german available. If you need help with translation, i will be happy to help.

Great looking build!
Looks like it should be a corner carver!

thanks again, guys!
Aki, i found the garage in the german scratchbuilt forum once, as a pdf-file. scaled it down from 1/32 to 1/43 and yes, it looks good. got 3 or 4 different once by now, so suitable for nearly every kind of car :)
