You'll have to forgive my posting as I'm on an iPhone and it's a bit of a nightmare compared using a computer,
The back story on the car was, it was being prepared for a respray when it was put in a lock up and forgotten about , in around 1985, to be dug out in late 2013! All good so far, came with old buff logbook too, researching about these things and whilst parts are available they are scarce and expensive when you do find them, ( great
not like me to buy a odd ball)
With this in mind I went to look at the car and it was good in all the dear areas like dashboard top ,inner sills floors (which look similar to beetle but are vastly different and a pair of repo pans would run into about £700 compared to £150 for a bug.
There was some rot to the front spare wheel area and some crumbling to the very edge of the drivers pan, a very lucky find on eBay got me a Californian front clip for a ton, talk about ment to be , I've never seen another! For any amount . And she is one large bag of rocking horse poo

And finally done, fair to say I was nervous doing this as any mistakes would have ment the end of this project
Almost seems a waste to fit such a nice rare part ,then to expose it to our crappy weather
