My latest find. 72 S Bug. Now to decide "Rat, Restore or Wreck".

Rear guards and valance yes, front guards and valance no.

Why not buff the paint and take al foil and WD40 to the bumpers and sell it to someone looking for a Sbug?

Supers are people too... ;)

Nothing wrong with a super. It will out handle any old bug no matter what you do to it. That's why all new cars have Macpherson strut setups as opposed to torsion bars. Not saying I don't like the old bugs but seriously why does everyone have to keep bagging out the supers. They are all VW's. It just comes down to personal preference.

hi

Looks like a good car, if you don't like it pass onto to someone who will care for it.

Once all these old bugs are gone there wont be anymore.

I can remember a time when you couldn't give away a split or bay Kombi or oval beetle and recently T3s have become sort after.

Yep, what Steve said.... If its solid, do whatever keeps it on the road, in your hands or others.

Just needs a good tidy up and it would make a great daily drive. I don't think it would make a good rat.
