looking to find an old VW beetle project. condition doesn't matter. Preferably with all body parts still available. If you or anyone you know has an old one sitting around, PM me. Gonna do a ratrod-style chop/drop project... kinda like this one.

check on craigslist. i saw some 60's beetle's there. i like the 60's looks better than the 70's. good luck.

lol maybe, because i seriously was thinking about doing a FR setup instead of RR... and not a V8. possibly an sr20, hell maybe even a 13b Toad lol.

appreciate the help man. although, i found an older one already chopped for about half that price. i'll probably give him a ring though.

i really don't want one in good condition. it's gonna get chopped and dropped anyway, so the car itself can be a piece of shit. here's the planned outcome:

My wife and I just sold ours for $400 man- sorry. You would have had to fred flinstone it home though. I like the ratrod idea. I dont really like the skirts on the one in the top pic though

Its a lot of work. I gave up on my '71 Beetle last week because there is a huge section of rust around/in the vent by the rear windows. Its so bad I wouldn't be able to repair the metal, I would have to cut out that part of the car and weld in a new section.

Anyways, keep an eye out for cars with bad pans. That is NOT easy to fix.
