Find a full bodied donor car or shell. Much less work in my opinion.

depends on where the welds were cut. also those back tires will be a problem. and exhaust, tail lights, head lights, and deck lid.

Trade it for a beetle and start fresh.

Seems like a basic welding job. Tough finding a decent donor but they sell a lot of the replacement sheet metal sections.

That was an amazing project thread GArBa!! Thanks for posting!

Now, back to Class 11s!

that's basically what the OP needs. find donor car or decent repair panel and bring the body back to stock shape. if it has been done, it can be done.
