Have a project that am selling due to priority to other projects
1954 Beetle body off has been fully soda blasted and most repairs done still require finishing touches for paint.
The pan has been restored and wont find better.
No motor have all glass and seats.
Would suit someone who wants to finish and have a show winner.

Could not get pics of the guards but 2 are ready for paint and 2 need tidy up
Hi
I purchased it last year with the pan already done i was told it was a original 54 pan
I will call the guy I got it from and ask him and let you know
I guess the hardest thing for a lot of folk is knowing how to put a project like this back together...
Are all the nuts n bolts, trim, bling, rubbers etc all there or is there a shopping list of things required to put her back together?
Definitely a solid enough basis (correct pan or not) but to find the right buyer with the right skills might be another theing?
Hope someone grabs it and sinks their teeth into it....
Any idea what flour she once was? Got ID tags etc?
Thanks Yogie
It is a great project for someone to make it a show winner paint your own colour and add your own hp
I dont think you could find a better pan or body to work with what you see is all steel no filler and a rare 54 model

I recently sold my complete and running 54/55 Beetle Rat looker for similar money so your not off the mark on your price however, it did take a while so be patient, but I would suggest taking lots more pics as I was asked for heaps before selling mine. Make an inventory list up!
The Bonnet and Floor pan from the pics is from a later model so you will want to be clear to the buyers on that.
Does it come with the correct headlights, tailights and semaphore indicators as they are hard and expensive to locate, they will help with the sale. Do you have a repair piece to fix the spring mount on the decklid as this will help with the sale too!
Hi
The chassis/pan number is 195621567 hope somebody can tell me what year the pan is
I do have boxes of stuff which I have not sorted but there is the headlights semaphores original 54 tail lights which are very rare.I do have a 60's decklid to go with it to fix the 54 deck lid.Not sure on the bonnet year.
I bought this to do as a show car as what you see is how I purchased it but I had it soda blasted
Hi Ian
I purchased it from a chap at Lochanvar near you as is but I removed the body of and had it soda blasted at Thornton
If you want to check it out it is at my painters at Edgeworth
Give me a buzz Ian if you want to check it out and I will meet you there Jeff 0414227194
ok TIME HAS COME IT IS NEARLY READY FOR PAINT HAVE HAVE NO ROOM AT HOME AS MY 61 D/C IS COMING HOME SOON AND NOBODY WANTS TO BUY THE COUNTRY BUGGY SO IT HAS TO BE THE BEETLE THAT GOES
I THINK A FAIR PRICE FOR A GREAT PROJECT $5k
Do you have any later pictures of the car now that it is prepared for paint? Also can you take a picture of what is included with the sale or post up a list of what comes with the car.
Thanks
