63Ragtop Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 well done young man, need some more pics, are the floors rusted out? can buy new one fairly cheap for bugs but most buggys are shortened, have seen people make their own pans out of flat steel. dunno what that will do for the road legal side of things, engines are simple as and a few mods really wake them up well.

AllTorque Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Wow, that's a rusty floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 mums beetle had a fridge door rivited in and carpet glued down so no one would know. Best bet is to get repo panels id say. 1k for good floors and engine may be asking a bit much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grimlok Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 <Cough> Scooby ej20 conversion </Cough> I dunno what you want a motor or floor pan for. It's already set up for a Fred Flinstone converson. This is AWESOME. Looking forward to watching this come together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Is that engine toast, or just locked up from sitting? Grab a how to keep your bug alive manual and whip it apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runt_vw Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Is that engine toast, or just locked up from sitting? Grab a how to keep your bug alive manual and whip it apart been sitting for two years, and locked up from that. apparently there's a oil type that you pour down spark plug holes to try crank it over? know of it?
