Choose Your Build!
You pick the car - we’ll build it!
Do you have a classic air cooled Volkswagen sitting under a tree, that’s been waiting for decades for you to restore it ‘one day’?
Did you get left your grandmother’s beloved first Beetle and don’t know where to start to rebuild it, or how to fund it?
Have you always dreamed of owning a classic VW but have always had far more important things that needed your time and money?
This one is for you.
For our fourth ‘Charity Beetle’ promotion, we are throwing it wide open to Volkswagen enthusiasts all over the world. The winner of this promotion will have the opportunity to have their dream car built by the extremely skilled team at MetalMorphosis Customs, with a total prize package valued at over $88,000.
What’s included?
A parts budget of $35,000
A further $5,000 to either ship your existing car to us and back. Or you can use the $5,000 to purchase a beater for us to work on. If you live close by and you can deliver your vehicle to us, you can add the $5,000 to your parts budget.
800 hours of labor to complete your build - valued at $48,000.
Whether you dream of cruising the countryside in a classic Beetle, throwing a surfboard in the back of a bus, or showing up in style in a classic Karmann Ghia, or Type 3. Our award winning team will work with you to create the design of your dreams.
Once we’ve settled on a design, we’ll create an artist's rendering of the outside of the vehicle, and prioritize your ‘wish list’ to work within your budget. Your build will be featured on our social media, so get ready to become the envy of all your friends (and total strangers!)
The terms and conditions for this promotion are slightly different to our previous giveaways, so please read all of the details below.

Who Are You Helping?
Donations via this website go to Foundation 18, a suite of humanitarian projects founded and funded by Australian-born artist, author, and humanitarian, Cate Culp. It’s primary purpose is minimising the effects of human trafficking.
Cate established an orphanage in the small village of Ringdikit, on the island of Bali in Indonesia, 2010 and has since dedicated much of her life, time and income to ensuring the welfare of children in the region. The Foundation runs a small group home for verified orphans, and outreach programs to assist severely disadvantaged children in the wider community.
Their Education Outreach program currently funds the education of 140 children, including providing food, clothing, health insurance, immunisations and emergency medical assistance. An Open Kitchen program, provides approximately 10,000 free meals each month to children who would otherwise go without. And their Elder Care program provides housing, food and medical assistance to elderly citizens without a living relative to help with their cost of living. The Foundation also arranges and finances their cremation at the time of their passing.
Most recently Foundation 18 has expanded their operations to Malaysia where they are assisting to fund the rehabilitation of children and young adults who have been rescued from the child sex trade. This includes the provision of education, food, medical expenses, clothing and counselling.
Foundation 18 is registered as an orphanage and non-profit entity with the Indonesian Government, in the name Yayasan Dharma Sadana, and is independently managed in Indonesia by Alit Samara, and independently funded by Cate and her family, and by generous donors all over the world.
