Tad,

    Why, oh why, did you destroy another good bug?  You say the body was severly
rusted, but from what I see in these pics, this thing was VERY restorable.  This is
what makes us TRUE VW lovers so upset.  Another restorable bug ruined.  CUT IN
HALF.  Arrgh!  What kills  me is that the pop-out windows were left in, as were the
front and rear windows - all good pieces.  Antenna too.  Probably others.  What a
shame.
