Wow, what an amazing C model. Not many models here with transversally mounted FWD engine!

Great job.  I bought one in 1998. Surprisingly the air conditioning and original clutch still works. 

 

 

That’s cool! I had to look up what the 42096 set was again. Did not make a lasting impression on me. Thank you very much for the instructions!

This is really creative c-model.

I thought it would be a B model as there is no official Lego alternative build.

Technically correct, i think many just use "C-model" as a generic term for an alternative model based on a set.

 

Nice work by the way, i really appreciate the poetry in turning a 911 into a beetle :P And always nice to see a transverse front mounted engine

I pimped my 42096 beetle.

This is really cool alternative model. Completely white version looks even better. Good job!

where are the free instructions gone? are they now paying?

Actually It looks cool...didn't think that every day car could be so interesting MOC since only super (hyper) cars or offroaders are usual inspiration for MOCs.

It looks great! I would rather build this than the Porsche to be honest 

I've started build it with free instructions, now they are gone and are became paying.. first around 5€ , now 10€ .... I think this is unfair...

does someone still have free instructions?
