talk to nbturbo down in south australia about the gear box. he's the last one i saw to fit one.
as for the 71 to 64. it depends on if the 71 is a super or not if its not then most should fit, if it is then not many.

Not much of the body parts will fit the 64

If its a super bug then almost nothing will fit except motor and box with some mods to it

does the doner car have spring front end and struts

where are you located will help with the trans swap
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Thanks for all that. I checked out nbturbo's post brilliant bloody brilliant just what I needed.
Hey Bushed sorry not shure your meaning are you saying I might be able to use bits of the super bug repair rusted out sections on my 64?

An S bug (73 on) would have less body cuts than an L bug (early super) read Joel's sticky.... Thats a beetle this is a superbug ... forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=97238.
Supers are a bit wider, the pan is different, guards are different, bonnet and boot completely different, and on the curved windscreen s bug I'd guess the turret would have a bit of variation in the curve, especially at the front. I'd check that for you but mine doesn't have a roof.
Pretty sure the doors are the same 68 on.
