    Dude I just sold mine. I’ve had it since I was 15 and I’m going to be 40 this year. It spent a lot of time in storage and was much like yours. I built it when the cal look was big. Bottom line was I didn’t feel as safe in it as I used to, and wouldn’t put my kids/family in it to go to a car show because of that. Hard decision, but I felt good once it sold and have made room for something better!!

    When you say more than it’s worth, be sure to check pricing in your area. Beetle prices have soared over the last two years. If you’d want another VW , know the market before selling this one . If you’d rather a different project, I say take the money and run!

      Good question. There are some square tube jack points. I made a part that inserts into those and joggles up so I could get a jack under it. I also made ramps to drive up on because a jack definitely doesn't fit even with good tires. I sold the car years ago though.
