the seems to be quite a few holes that look like something was bolted to my bug, the rear has some that id guess could be a cage, the front has some along the bottom of the shell inside on the footwell bit, heater channel call it, just next to your feet while you drive, theres a few other random looking holes in it aswell, cant figure out what could of gone there, and no there not rust holes, if they are i have very presice rust bugs or something cause they are all round about 10-20mm diameter, if i had a camera it would be useful but i dont so just think up random stuff that would be bolted to a bug shell, already know that 2x holes were for a baby seat so that covers 2 holes

Rear ones sound like the mounting holes for the swingaxle stabiliser bar. As supers became IRS these became redundant and I guess the faxtory found it more economical to have the presses just leave them there rather than change them to not punch them.

Not sure about the front though.

if there are holes near the a pillar, i nwouold say there has been a cage in the car.

I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
