Choosing the right foundation is the most critical step in any Super Beetle project. While the 1302 and 1303 models offer superior handling thanks to their MacPherson strut front suspension, that same engineering creates specific rust traps you must inspect before exchanging any cash. You need to look closely at the strut towers and the frame head area; if these are structurally compromised, the restoration becomes significantly more complex and expensive.
