My Free 59 Bug build

[LooseNuts]

I pick up my new project 59 bug Sunday. I am just getting the body and pan with title.

Best part i am getting it for FREE   






needs a rear clip.
front is perfect.
very small amount of rust.
under battery tray and a small section in rear quarter.

  I'm back b!tches

[corradojeff]

i will be cutting the rear clip off my 65 shortly if that will help you 

[LooseNuts]

Yeah it might. wrong apron but it may be fine. 

[CatBox]

right on the man!

Do you get fenders with it?

If not you need a beam extender.....

 

[Matty]

Nice score J. If I had a way to get it, I would have opted in myself. I said I was done with bugs, but a free 59 is hard to pass on 

[LooseNuts]

Yeah free is always a good price. 

No fenders Peter 

and no i do not like the extended thing 

[RogueVW]

Free is a very good price!
If I had a garage id take it as well...
Have fun!

[corradojeff]

Yeah it might. wrong apron but it may be fine.

On the way home 




For a 100 bucks dude gave me the running stock motor and trans so i will be running it now. :thumb:  the clutch and pressure plate look new too.

[CatBox]

Nifty!

What is the plate with four holes in it on the left side of the engine for?

[LooseNuts]

The bracket on the intake is for a Mag supercharger.  Wish it came with it.
I have found it through the samba as a very rear item. Repop ones go for 6k. the Judson is the most common blower which  i didn't know.
