My new ride 1960 Mango green Bug
My Daily driver is a 2008 Crafter, but needed a little run about and by chance driving down to meet some new friends in the Southern Highlands of NSW
I saw this on the side of the lane which ended up being owned by someone i Know! this little green bug.
Its funny you might sell your dubs for various reasons but your eyes are allways on the prowl for hidden gems in sheds yards etc, and im allways
asking farmers if they ever see any call me!
and then it turns out to be a friends?? go figure.
any woo its mine all mine

that's a body OFF job both floor half's will have to be replace
I would strip it and have the floor center section blasted first chisel off the old pan half's no need to blast them
keep the seat runners as they don't come with the pan half

this is the only rust issue in the whole body, thanks to kids playing in it as a cubby house, forcing the rusted door hinges it's fractured off the
inner bit that holds the inner part of the hinge bracket.
looks like i might have to cut the pillar to re weld then re weld it back??

take the front guards OFF the cut the metal section out of the front 1/4 panel you will be surprised what come out of there
Best repair section for the front pillar is from VVDS really good quality and will fit up easy
that body is so clean when you get it off the pan get the water and air hose into action to was all the dirt n grud out of the inner panel and
hack saw blade works good to get into all the tight and thin areas to unblock the drain holes get some rust converted when it clean then
some good wurth or similar oil / wax
