here's a few pix of the 69 sardine top before I start ripping into it!

floor pan is shot to hell and back, so it's all coming apart for a replacement in the next few months (isn't driveable at the mo - seats about to go through the floor!)

1600 motor, 205/70/14's on the back, 195/70/14's on the front, honda seats, and a complete lack of any metal overhead! (and below unfortunately)

My other car is a scooter, and it's in even more bits than my beetle. One day they will both be back together.......

floorpan is too depressing for me to even look at the pix, let alone post them again!

I'll post pix as I get into the project - new floorpan, new roof, and a groovy paint job are the plans, and maybe a new gearbox too

Is that classed as a convertible? Or is it just a full-length sunroof?

don't know what it's officially classed as, would be interested to find out!

works well though, no roof, but very little wind blast, and I can get a roof rack on it too - keeps a lot more of the strength in the body apparently, and has engineers reports too, I've only seen one other around, so it's obviously a chop job, but at least it was done properly!
