I thought it would be cool to see what vw's have been cut apart by everyone to create a buggy. I'll start, 57 pan, glitterbug(I think) 74 super beetle 1600dp

This one is on a '55 bug pan. The pan was given to us for the build the day after my buddy Larry got the body. We never saw the bug body but the pan looked like it had been lying in someones back yard for years.
This is my wife's buggy and it's on a '70 vert pan. I got the vert from a buddy by trading him a Lambretta Jet 200 scooter. Turns out the car was a bigger rust bomb than even I could deal with plus it's been rear-ended twice and "hack repaired" both times. So I parted it out, made plenty of cash (vert sh!t is expensive!) and used the pan and title to start this.
This little jewel is on a 58 Bug pan. I bought it as is and am doing a "quick" rebuild on it. Came with title and looked to be a nice build by the original builder.
