Is anybody interested in a 77 standard bug body or parts from it. It comes with a body that is missing fenders and I believe the interior. It is solid with no rust and low mileage. I am interested in the car for its mechanical components, pan, front end, electrical... I will use it as a donor for my fiberglass buggy.

I don't want to scrap the body so let me know if anybody is interested.

I haven't even looked at it yet but if the seller is reasonable I might have it by wed.

Take Care,
Jamie

I'm looking for a Factory Sunroof, no chance I might
get lucky on this one is there ? Other than that I
don't need a complete shell.

Sorry, it has no sunroof. I talked with the guy and he said I can just take what I want off the car, leave the shell and anything else behind and then pay for what I take. Maybe Sandeep would like to make his convertable LOL.

Take Care,

Is this a convertible body ? If not, I wish I had the room in the garage. This would mean I could work on the body and then get it painted while I was still driving my car. Then during the winter I could just swap bodies ! :D

No, its not, I just figured you could cut the roof off yours and sell it to ajracer to help fund the rest of the your improvements. LOL

Does it still have an engine in it ?
Or are you using that as well ?

"It has no fenders and it has a dent on the drivers lower quarter panel, it is a solid southern body. The doors line up perfectly and the heater channels have the original paint on them. "

This is what I have been told, I will be going on friday to see the car and start removing the body from the pan. I will be taking all the electrical, pan, front end, rear end, steering, and anything else that is needed for my fiberglass buggy. It has no interior, motor or transmission.

What will be left is the body including hood, decklid, glass, and doors on a solid original 77 standard.

Take Care,
Jamie

Sorry Pete...I edited my post.
Forget the early standard.....we can make it look early with fenders and a rag can be welded in I believe that there is a rag in Kitchener if it is still available and if you still have the phone number (You should know who I mean). The goal is to get a good body for little money :D
