I kind of think the whole point of the car is the interior.
I'm wondering what that is embedded into the floor on the left of the driver's floor?

I suspect someone or several someones has an absolute ball dreaming up and fabricating all that interior stuff. But Why? Why? Why? does the car have stock pedal pads, are they upside down too?

Anyone know what those partially clear acryllic, internally lit, rectangular housings are? One in the driver's foot well, two in the passenger's foot well and all across the back of the inside. Are those speakers?

Yeah, the engine bay, shock mounts and such look like they could be on a different car. Hmmmm....... they could have taken the theme all the way, replaced the engine/trans with a generator, no pedals, maybe left the steering wheel to steer in on and off the trailer.

.

I would hazzard to guess that those panels are the controls for the windows and door latches. The door handels are shaved on the exterior and the inside of the doors have no handels, buttons etc.

This thing is 100% show car.

the car itself is really cool IMO... it's very hot-rod inspired as opposed to the usual euro style (not that there is anything wrong with euro). the interior is horrendous indeed, but my guess is that it's meant to be an advertisement of sorts for the blaupunkt audio equipment. no doubt the craftmanship is very creative.

Yup, all the statements are true. This car is 100% show car. The first word that comes to mind when I see this car is....FOOSE.
It looks like something that would come from a Overhaulin episode. LOL!

I think it looks cool... but would I sport it?....Na....but I would definately show it.

You know that I was actually thinking of having my wife call Overhaulin so they can overhaul my Cabby, buuuuut...I'm afraid it would come out looking a lil like this.

Not saying that I dont like this Rabbit, its just not for me.
