Please don't cut it up... I agree with the majority find another more suitable project. It might be a 70's but, in another 10 - 20 yrs it's gonna have alot more interest.
I read an article in a U.K. VW magazine just recently and they thought nothing of cutting up a 50's split or oval bug back then... It's the same deal now... Don't waste a good bug
If it's not in a Vee Dub I'm not going!

Don't cut. If it is okay body wise etc, I'll swap you two cut 54 oval shells. Already for baja'ing. One has the front and rear valances already cut off. No chassis though and really just the shells.
where are you? i have a baja project with very little rust, already cut, if i put the passenger side axle back in it will be rolling, on stock wheels got an assortment of baja kits you can choose some bits from, some seats that would suit recovering on VW rails, maybe some barwork if its still lying around, currently dismantled for complete revamp so would suit a complete build perfectly, have all the little bits of trim etc in boxes, most of it labled, unfortunatly working a lot now and am getting things done on my other baja the chance of me getting around to the other one is slim. no engine.
600 bucks, take it away on a trailer.
worth a try.
oh and its a 63

i have to type quitely because i am sure the misses can here my brain ticking over.
anyway i sat down to say to all those who said don't cut it you have made me feel bad about even thicking about it.
here a couple of pics and this his how it is going to stay, maybe not stock as rock but all mods will be very reversable (bolt on only) and not visable from the outside.
had a look at your ride i dont have the rust you did thankfully the car was rust proofed from new and it worked but its a bugger of a stuff to get off, most of it is dry but if its not it like honey but stickier.
it looks like im not far from you at all just down the road in a manner of speaking
