It just got dropped off on Friday. It came with a lot of old beetle parts filling the barrel that can be seen beside there, and that don't have such a special storage spot, that just get the ground.
This is my first project this big, and we're thinking about trying to make this the coolest first car ever. The only problem is, we have pretty much no money to spend on it. I'm going to try to get myself a job, but there still won't be much to put towards it.
I was wondering if you guys would be willing to help a fellow enthusiast with tips and suggestions? It's actually really small, and we're thinking of moving those bars beside the cockpit outwards so that it can be a two-seater.
We know that first thing's first, we've gotta sandblast it. Though it looks rusty as hell, that's just surface, it's still strong, and pretty nice underneath.
We've got no drive train parts whatsoever, we need to figure out if we're keeping it's VW suspension or if we're changing it, need to know how we're doing doors, figure out if we want an air-cooled VW engine or something else back there, and figure out where to put the radiator
We need it to fit Canadian laws, and preferably be heated and sealed from the elements on the inside.
Any help from you guys would be well appreciated.

She's a beauty, where in Canada are you? Vancouver by any chance? If it was me doing it, I'd graft a sport bike on to the back and make it a 3 wheeler. Powertrain, suspension, fuel tank...
I'll just leave this here, for your coolest second car (not my ad).

Do an EJ20. In your heart, you know it's right.

No, I'm actually an hour north of Toronto. I really don't feel the need to make this a trike, I'm already doing that with an old dirt bike I've torn apart. Maybe not smart to have so much stuff to do, but one is an at home thing, and the other is something to keep me going to class.

I do indeed, but as stated, I have next to no money. Maybe that's something to do later on, upgrade it when I've got cash.
