i have just picked up a 1968 beetle, was gonna chop the front off and make it into a bbq and chop the back off and make a couch, but havent decided yet
if someone whats to make an offer or swap it may be considered. the floor and body has rust but is complete minus motor and rear shocks i think anyway.

How rusty is it mate? Got any pics of the floorpans, etc? I have one of these, shown here: http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=80860&page=1#pid753716

If it's rusty and you do decide to BBQ it, I might still want to give you some cash for bits of it. I'm running a 1500 in motorsport, so spares are always handy, but I particularly need to replace all of the front suspension bits at the moment. So, I might be able to buy the bits you don't need for a BBQ and we'll both be happy!

Is this a "made in Western Germany" 1968?

I believe the Australian ones had the indicator stalk on the right of the column, German ones are on the left. Also, the wipers go the other way, but I would assume that yours is a Geman one.

Given the rusty body, I don't really want to buy the car whole, as I won't need to use the shell or any of the panels, but I am interested in plenty of other parts. Having said that, if you don't want to keep the panels for your BBQ project then I can take the whole car and cut it up myself. I'll send you a text about it.
