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":

[lovebus (jack)]

Sure.

[Baha (Shawn)]

Bet we can finish it faster than we can do the Super... 

[Beetleboi -Greg-]

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
