I think you ought to buy it Rick!  There is more to work with there than you had to start with on your double cab . . . If you can put the DC back on the road, you shouldn't have a problem fabricating a Thing front end, doors, fenders, hood and windshield frame.  8)

This just maybe be the Thing that I got the front axle from for my T-82e military Bug.  It was at Lockhart's already in half. I know the rear half went to Ala. If this was the same car, no great loss.This was a total rust bucket and fell in half from the rust. I jerked the front axle off the frame head with my hands.
