Thats going to be some Job

To fix that properly, ALL rust will have to be cut out, won't be much car left when thats done.

I admire you for taing this on, its possible, but will be a LOT of work to do it properly.

All bar the screen surround, thats all easily do-able, 2 new doors, 2 new rear arch sections, 2 sills, a hatch, a sheet of steel to make some bits you can't buy like the screen rot, and then lots of time.
I've restored beetles in worse condition.

Do it, save another one.

I would.

Would be the same as restoring any other VT youl just have to replace abit more metal but its all in the usual areas.

Go for it bro!

Saving/restoring a 4G is a good thing.

Best luck to you!
