				I recently picked up a 68 auto stick with a 1500cc engine. The car has been sitting since 1998 (according to the inspection sticker).
 I removed the interior carpet and found the parcel tray is gone and there is a small hole behind the drivers seat in the floor pan.
 the car overall has minimal rust and it rolls freely.
 
 I was able to find a replacement frame head for my 72 super so I'm going to complete that project.
 I originally got the car to replace the super since the super looked like it was going to coast WAY more than I had to put into it.
 But now my budget is on track to complete it.
 
 I priced out a tray and they are about $199 and I have a floor pan I can patch the floor with.
 So I figure for the cost of the tray, 4 tires, maybe brakes and a tune up she could be road worthy.
 
 So heres the question. What the hell do I do with it?!  ^soh^
 BTW I already popped the roof and hood dents.

 Are you volunteering to teach me a few things about autos?  :jump4jo":
- 
				Sure.
			
- 
				Bet we can finish it faster than we can do the Super...  
			
- 
				I think it has less rust than the super. 
			
- 
				If the sheetmetals good, convert to manual!  
			
- 
				Ill work on getting the parcel cut out this week from the parts car. If you want to convert it to manual, I have the extra parts to do it and they are all yours.
			
- 
				I have the 1974 autostick superbeetle so if you do convert to manual please let me know if there are auto-stick parts I could use and you would be willing to part with.
 Thanks
