That car has been through hell, New firewall and luggage shelf; look at the upper door gap in the pict, you can see daylight through it. You could sell your buggy and pick up an oval project better than that. I would pass!

I would say that car in that condition is worth about $800 tops. But I think that if you decided to make it look like that old tan war wagen, the theme would look great. Trade the 65 minus the motor for it :hillbilly:

Well here is the deal. I have been wanting to build a ratty looking, but functional, bug for a while. So i thought this would be a good starting point. Also, i am getting a 56 euro oval for a lot less than i have been able to find one for. I don't think that i can go wrong?????
