having finished my engine, i needed something to put it in, it just so happened that a friend of my dads saved a bug from the crusher a few years ago and we bought it off of him. After sitting for 6 or 8 years it was pulled out last Sunday. Although it is very rough and will take me a few years to complete, it was a very good 15th birthday present
the body is very rough and will need new heater channels, bumper brackets and a lot more sheet metal. the pan will also need work, i plan on buying 2 1/2 pan peaces, one for each side, to put on the rear sections.
when sitting this beetle was not doing nothing, it was housing a family of rats, that was fun to clean up...
any way lots of work ahead but here are some pics to start.
