When I bought it the seller said he could not find some of the parts. On picking it up yesterday the guy pulls out the manufacturers statement of origin, new data tag, windshield, windshield top frame, deco molding, complete interior carpet and viynal, the top, tuneau cover ect.... About the only thing missing is the wire harness, side and rear view mirrors and the internal door parts and side posts.
That's a nice find and hard to come by ...
You should be able to lay your hands on the missing parts pretty easily. The folks here will be helpful in finding them.
Oh boy, we're going to enjoy watching your project! As Alan said, nice find. Also, when you attach pictures, always use the large option. Cheers!
You never know what's hidden in the fast growing Jopam (sp) bushes - thank goodness not much Kudzu in FL or stuff would be lost forever! I recently discovered a '60s horse trailer on some NW FL property I inherited!
Looks like it was almost ready for the road - and a FL antique tag.
Wiring harness, side mirrors, gauges were optional. I used the VW bug door bits for door mechanism - there were a couple custom pieces provided. Get a copy of the build manual if it didn't come with one. Many start with an inexpensive dune buggy wiring harness ($50) or one from Vintage Motor Cars - VMC ($198). Are side post the posts for windshield frame ($132)?

Amdy, what did I tell ya'.
Hey guys, thank you for the info. Wolfgang help with what parts to use on the door stuff will be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: Pulled the plugs on it today, very surprised they all broke loose. I sprayed a bunch of pb blaster in each cyl and a ton down the carb. Then waited a couple hours to turn it over by hand. It has compression and the oil in it looks new.
Your right Bob, thx
Sweet, a narrow body unmolested kit! Build on...
Very viable project, Andy. Welcome to the made-it-myself-ness.
