doesn't look like much rust.... but then you realize it's because most of the car has already fallen off.
I think the word swapped is generous to describethe crafting of bug rear onto that thing.
I like how the bead isn't seated on the wheel. Of course, with the tiny amount of weight that it has to support it shouldn't be a problem.

Are those two pieces of angle iron all that connects the front to the back?
I have a fiat 500 and planning VW transaxle but I am not sure that is how I would go about it..... At the moment mine will be VW trans and an ecotech hanging out the back.

Looks like rails from a bed frame to me.
