Hi Everyone,

I posted this question on another news group and was told to put it here. I have a good '64 chassis and a friend has a '72 Body that we'd like to put together. What are the modifications, if any, that are required to make this union complete? I'm assuming at the moment that the body is not a Super Beetle. Are there major differences between the standard and super beetle? I know the front suspension is different, but are the chassis otherwise pretty similar? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm just now getting introduced into the VW world, so bare with me! Thanks,

If you are indeed talking of a standard body and chassis the only mods required are moving the rear body mounts where the shock towers are located(rear inner fender).

A super and standard are not compatible without major surgery(read not worth the hassle).
