Body Parts Match

Post by rparker7 »

I have searched around for some clarification on this. I am trying to figure out if there are other years (earlier?) that I can use to salvage body parts? For instance wheelhousing area, quater panels, area between the windshield and front deck lid. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated by this novice.

Thanks

Wheelhouse and quarter panels are the same back to about 1960, but the area between the windshield and front lid only goes back to '65. But the good news is it's the same to the end of regular Beetle production, so late '60s and '70s donors will work.
