1300?? That's a '66, isn't it? Either that or it's not a USA import. Have you checked the VIN? Still, it looks pretty d**n solid, despite the little bit of surface rust. Nice 2-tone too.

ok this is where i got a little confused also, i checked the vin and it says it was made in like sept 1966 but the vin is a 117 meaning a 67, the engine is a 1500 i looked up that too. Im guessing whoever had this before me put the wrong lid on it from a 66 im guessing? Because it does hit the bumper when opening too.

Yeah, you've probably got a replacement rear hood on there from a '66 - NBD.
I'm not a beetle guy so I'm not the one to ask, but I don't think there's much difference in the rear lids to cause a clearance problem. Is the bumper slightly out of alignment perhaps?

Cool. There's a 'Member Projects' section that you should post some pics to as you do each phase of the work.
We're all a bunch of nosey bastards who like to see how your work progresses and offer moral support.
