I tried to use original parts, but I had to use some new Brazilian parts. It's funny the rusty old fender I spent hours sanding is still fine, and the new fender is rusting out right now.. Try to use the old stuff if you can....
I had a lot of help with the paint and body work after the accident. I know if I baby it I can get 30mpg, but that really doesn't happen so about 25ish. or 20 depends on my mood.
I bought it in SoCal and towed it to my home in NorCal. The rivets you see are snap studs for a faux ragtop cover. I lost the old top on a windy day in SF Bay so now I made a new one.
Well it's a long and sordid story, but it's a 69 with pre 1967 front fenders and post 73 rear fenders.. and to make it more complicated it's really a 2000 Mexibeetle on a 1969 pan...
hat is a really cool bug. i got a 72 that ive compleatly striped all of the removble body parts changrd the aporens and put all 63 speck stuff on it but it needs a paint job and some minner dent repair,oh ya and a running moter.

Nice flames an accident always inspires customization...i'm just waiting for an idiot to hit my car before i repaint it and switch fenders.

What year is this bug? I have a 1969 Bug. This one looks older than that.
