It was some sort of easy model (the type that are mostly assembled already) that I think was made by Revell. I spent ages trying to find a cheap plastic 1:24 VW so that it was easy to cut up and not too heavy. I actually started with a diecast model and put quite a lot of effort into cutting it up but it was just too heavy. I have my bumblebee repaint (WRX) that replaced this one in my collection now. Much nicer.
Here's another crappy start of another custom that had been lying in the back of the draw until someone asked about what to turn a classics Hot Rod into. She needs a heap more make-up (paint) and a new head, and I only have a car mode photo at the moment, but I suppose I could still share it with you. Go easy on her - she's a long way from finished.
EDIT: This is what I'm working towards...
