ok, it's blue but it's beat like a redheaded step child.I think it went from Zen to David  to Jason to Me. I think I can revive it as a little hotrod with some dramatic body work. Anywho,who do I got bribe to get the rest of it?

I'm looking for doors,hood,decklid,and fenders. Windows are a plus. And a pan would be nice if there's one clogging up your yard.
The more I find the less I chop. The less I find...well.
It wont need doors without a roof I guess. :lol:

HERB to David to Jason to you.  I think that is one of the few non-running Bugs in the area that hasn't spent time in my back yard . . . or has  it?  There's been so many back there I don't remember for sure . . . but I don't think this one has.  :lol:

I've got a 68 chassis you can have.  Bad tranny, no rear drums, no front beam, needs pans, and the last I knew, there was a bug running around north GA still using the VIN that belongs to this chassis.  The body was placed on a 75 pan, but since the guy had the title for this chassis and this VIN was on the body, he kept on using the 68 title.  Anyway, the price is right.   :wink:  Come haul it off.  8)

Yeah, I guess technically you should name it after Herb . . . but then you already have one named after Herb.  Call it whatever you want to as long as it gets a little of the junk out of my yard and garage!   :lol:    8)

Anytime you need something removed from that garage let me know. :lol:  It's like a little nest of vw. Thanks for the pan I think it's gonna be usable. I didn't see anything wrong with the trnasmision other than the linckage but what do I know.

The guy I got it from put the body on a 75 chassis 'cause the tranny was bad and he didn't want to mess with changing out a swing axle when he had an IRS chassis sitting there.  I think reverse was bad.

Scott, I was just checking some older post that I missed.
    On that tranny ,You don't have to take the axles off. If you have haven't ever had a VW swing axle apart , You better get some help before you get into big trouble. It doesn't come apart like you think it does and there is some tender stuff inside that won't take a lot of beating,banging and prying. $$$$$$$$$ if you screw up. If you think I'm trying to scare you,  You are correct. :wink:

HeyScott, I have a front hood you can have. Looks like it hit a tree head-on and then was beat out with a big hammer.(North Ga Style body work) It was the hood that was on the body you have now. A couple of pounds of Bondo and a can of Krylon it would look like new :lol:

Again this is one of those weird vocabulary things I haven't mastered.The axle is still attached to the gears and still attached to the other axle as well. I'll throw it in the truck for you to laugh at when I get that pristine hood.I've got a case I need you to identify anyways.

How bad or good is a Brazilian case. It's setup as a 1600 SP. At least I think that's 85.5mm pistons make it.It's in My step dads 68 or was. :lol:
Down on the bottom right hand side(passenger side when installed)Theres a plate blocking off an opening in the oil sump area.Whats it for? Whenever this rain let's up I'll drop by with a bunch of junk for you to laugh at.
