Thanks for checking in!

75 super?! I could have gotten you a 66 that drove for $1000. In Ca. It was rough, but it drove. White, flowers 🌸 painted all over it. Needed aprons and rear fenders. Pan sectional under the battery. Well anyway good luck to you.

[@ChrisJEllis]

I should have gone that way but I have this one so might as well work on it. Thanks for checking in!

@@ChrisJEllis what direction are you going to go with it? Super Beatles are a hard one. Because the big bulbous front end and curved windshield. I’ve heard early MK one rabbit and golf front suspension work on them. Since it has struts. You can get the front suspension, nice and low with adjustable coil overs. Super Beatles seem to look best when done in a German look. With 17 inch Porsche wheels. And type 4 power. Paired with a Porsche five speed. Roll cage, racing bucket seats, racing steering wheel, and of course, a very low stance. Or perhaps completely bone stock with all new everything. And a basic aftermarket exhaust to get rid of the whistling shooter exhaust.

@@nessie42786 It really isn't worth saving, I'll spend more time and money than it will ever be worth but I have it and my wife Lisa wants it so..well it's a La grande. Think that's how you spell it. She likes the original color... green is her favorite color. So the plan is...make an original color driver. I'm not a body man so this should be interesting.

shes gonna be a big job Pilgram maybe just get her put together and do a decent job instead of full on custom build. where is the engine?

[@ChrisJEllis]

It is way bigger than I should take on, but I have it so why not. Like Buster's travels says "1 patch at a time".

[@ChrisJEllis]

Oh as for the engine, I have to replace it. It's too far gone to save.

[@Scano41]

Is it guna be a rat rod resto

[@ChrisJEllis]

No. Lisa wants a nice big. I'm fixing it up for her.
