Yeah, haha. But it wouldn't have one headlight, and it would be missing both headlight trim rings. It would have 2 lug nuts on each wheel. Bias plias that don't hold air. No wipers. No glass. And no door handles. And no keys...

Hey Buguer! can you upload those pics to your gallery. they are more cross system friendly. My office block most of the f&*^king pics.

Congrats on the freebie!

I got mine about 2 years ago. Found it on craigslist from some guy out in Gresham whos landlord told him he had too much crap laying about. So he had this '74 super that he had to get rid of and I took it from him for $350. It was a complete car. I have right at $2000 into it right now. I never thought of myself owning a VW, now we have 2 in the family; a '74 Super Bug and an '08 EOS for the wife.

But the best places in town to get anything you need for your car is Discount Import Parts and Always-V-Dub.

Enjoy your great find!

Nice wheels. I have the same ones, but have never shined them up. Now I realize how sweet they will look when I get my lazy ass out there.
