A super needs it's unique front end body work as part of it's suspension. But since you'll be swapping it onto a non-strut chassis, it may or may not work w/out mods. You may have to trim the front quarter panel area if the stanadard Beetle suspension gets in the way. Don't really know, really. It's possible definitely but not sure how much work would be involved. My guess just enough trimming should do it at front.
