does anyone know if its possible to bolt on a pre 67 bug body onto a superbug chassis- with all running gear, engine etc- or are they different sizes. or can you bolt on the better parts to the old chassis.
tell me if im dreaming or not!

A superbug has a STRUT front end lots of work fitting inner guard strut towers

you would be better off fitting it to a semi auto IRS / Ball joint front end pan this is quite easy with early bodies

different front ends mate

You can have a new frame head welded onto your super chassis to take a beam.
Labour cost will prob out weigh the cost of a semi auto chassis,
but this is what my drag car has.

Other than the front suspension and perhaps a rear body mount, it is the same bolt pattern.

the rear end / engine /gearbox isnt the problem as per above its the front end

Ive seen a few front bulkheads welded on it can be done

thanks guys what years did the semi-auto IRS/ball joint front end come out? do you know who or where to ask to get the mod done in NSW? excuse my ignorance i have'nt owned a bug for years, since my 68 caught fire.

The semo auto was out from 68 to 71 i think

Give Vintage a call 02-9789-1777 they may have a pan and or can modifiy one for you if u find one

all semi autos from begining of 71 were strut front end superbeetles as well
u couldnt get a standard bug semiauto once superbugs replaced 1500s in 12/70
