MIX & MATCH

JUST THOUGHT SOME OF YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED, I AM ALMOST DONE WITH "BOB" IT IS MOSTLY A 1967 VW TYPE 1. THAT IS TO SAY MOST OF THE BODY IS '67.
THE PAN IS A '72 WITH A 3" BODY LIFT, BUT IT'S NOT! A BAJA (THE FRONT AND REAR HAVE NOT BEEN CUT OFF).
THE FRONT FENDERS ARE FROM A '65
R-REAR IS A '68
L-REAR IS A '66
THE DECK LID AND APRON IS OFF A '70
THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHT AND THE TAIL LIGHTS ARE FROM A '58 BUG.
THE DOOR WERE TAKEN FROM A '73
THE FRONT SEATS ARE OUT OF A '64, THE REAR IS 1/2 '67 1/2 '66.
THE SPEEDO IS OUT OF A '74 MOUNTED IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH. THE REST OF THE DASH IS SHAVED, LIGHT SWITCH AND IGNITION SWITCH ARE UNDERNEATH THE DASH.
THE HOOD IS A '63 .
THE FRONT APRON WAS CUT OUT OF A '62.
THE GEAR SHIFT IS A '71
DOOR HANDLES HOOD AND DECK HANDLE GONE.
HORN GRILLS TURN SIGNALS GONE
FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS GONE
EXHAUST HOLES IN APRON FILLED
DECK LID OPENS USING A DECK LID LATCH FROM A '69 TYPE III FAST-BACK.
HUGE MUDDER TIRES AND CENTERLINE WHEELS.
PAINTED PORSCHE GUARDS RED .
RED INTERIOR
ALL IT NEEDS IS TO HAVE MY GOOD BUDDY VWNATE1 INSTALL THE MOTOR AND BLEED THE BRAKES.
I FOUND MOST OF THE PARTS JUST LAYING AROUND MY BACK YARD AND SAID TO MY BUDDY NATE "THERE IS ENOUGH HERE TO BUILD A WHOLE CAR".
NATE BEING THE TYPE THAT LIKES TO KEEP THINGS STOCK SAID THAT I WAS CRAZY.
IT TOOK A FEW YEARS TO DO BUT NOW IT'S ALMOST DONE. I HOPE TO TAKE IT TO A FEW SHOWS THIS YEAR. BUT IT WILL BE FOR SALE. I LIKE TO BUILD CARS AND WHEN THIER DONE I GET BORED AND SELL. ITS THE WORK THAT EXCITES ME.
WHEN I GET A CAMERA I'LL POST PICS. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM.

Yeah , first rule of building junkers is make sure there's some kinda paperwork ! second thing is : use a rustfree pan .

It's hard to believe this was a complete , full fendered Baja bug we DROVE HOME from Pomona swap meet in . David likes to chop 'til he drops ! .

(I like the 1800 engine he pulled out & gave me though) .
