Hood Replacement Issues!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #671 of 778 |
Hello, fine fellow-Beetle owners! I have a question, and I am hoping
you can help me. We have a 1972 Convertible which is in need of a new
hood, fenders, tires, and dashboard. I have the opportunity to
purchase a 1972 Super Beetle, not-Convertible (which I would think
makes it a sedan?), for parts.

Currently, the Convertible has the a set of wide fenders with Square
head and tail-lamps, and wider tires. I know the fenders and wheels
from the potential parts car will work, but will the dash? And most
importantly, will hood?

Thanks for helping!

Jason

Dash pads swap - Cabriolets are not wider, in fact the rear seat is narrower and the bit you lean against and sit on are special to the car - so do not throw...
