on one side , but needs a lot of work on the other side. Whew.
Good project I reckon as the steel sun roof early ones dont come along everyday. Keep me busy for the next 6 months I think.
Thinking same colour paint and a nice set of chrome 356 wheels and caps. Sweet

Interior is OK for the age. Just a few panels needed here and there.

Nice work Dean, good to see you got it. Needs a little work, but hey, what doesn't. I still have a couple of things from my 66, but not heaps, so if you need something, gimme a yell.

Cheers guys. This would have made a nice Rat before it had the big bang in the front. Shame to see really.
Big job cutting out the front quarter and putting in a replacement. Never done this job before.

You could still blend the new front end to be a rat man...

No money for pretty paint Jim soit might just end up being like that. Rather have a nice set of chome wheels I think.
Depends on how much the repair is going to cost.
I think Bug Boy will be spending a bit of time at my place over the next couple of months. 😀

Good score!!
You will be able to fix it no problems. a bit of cutting, a bit of welding, and you will have a rare Beetle.
