VW built several very interesting protoype and experimentals back in the early years, I once read about a woodburning variant! One day I'll get to the VW Museum

From Baja bugs and sand buggys, to the kit car fad of the 1970's, Cal-looker craze of the late 70's and 80's, the old VW beetle has got to be one of the most retrofitted and modified cars of the last 60 years.
