Too bad it an oval but what the heck! fix it up the way you want, I like the "side window" treatment.
Wow !fright! If you ever decide to part it out I want the rear window :icon_twisted:

Why do you want the rear window?
The side window and dash forunately arent cut whoever did this just riveted and bondoed plates over the holes they did the same to the dash witch is un cut I already have an oval front clip lined up just have to find the rear and the $$$$$$$$$$W decklid. they bondoed over the fender seams too but its so old its peeling, car came from somewhere along the Pa/NJ BORDER sitting since the mid 70s :) (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/510105.jpg) (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/510106.jpg) (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/510107.jpg)

I dont know yet, but the cross bar behind the seats has to go!! too damn old an fat to be crawlin through and over it. it is bolted to the body everywhere except the door bars they welded them to the original heater channels!!!!! @7@ I believe it was welded up in the car so its gonna take some creative gifsawsall to get it out for use again. You get first shot if i dont want it. WA#
Tnx. Id actually take it in pieces. I have a body lift so any cage I buy would need to be modified. I just need a mock-up so i can have one built
