Re: 1977 Super Beetle Convertible; Alpine White

Alright thanks for the info; I have discussed with my dad and we are planning how we will do this. Have you seen anything on the web that covers making a good set of braces. We figure we can fabricate a similar solution to the ones shown in the door. We are just trying to sort out where would be the...

Re: 1977 Super Beetle Convertible; Alpine White

The chassis looks great! Any tips on what to do when splitting the chassis from the frame? My dad has stripped the interior and he is currently assessing what it needs to start to find parts. He is looking to separate the two but we are unsure of a few things.

Yes I haven't seen my dads car in a few days but it definitely has its share of rust, I am hoping to get some photos to share once he has things stripped down.

Are you still working on the 59 or is it done?

Re: 1977 Super Beetle Convertible; Alpine White

Yes I was thinking of doing that as my research eventually led me in that direction. I am just trying to determine what information is necessary to provide. Currently I have the VIN and Engine serial number. The application asks for the model. Is this just 1977 Super Beetle Convertible or is it some...

1977 Super Beetle Convertible; Alpine White

Hi everyone, I am new here, my father just picked up a '77 Vert. We were going over it and we're hoping to get a understanding of how it left the factory. The serial number is a 157 2.... so that checks out. The paint code sticker is still intact on the strut tower and shows alpinwoXX and L90B. The ...
