It has a box of bits sitting on the front seat and it's in my next door neighbours place where they were going to spray paint it about a year ago but they suffer from the same disease as me, that is never finishing anything.
So, if you were mechanically inclined and fitted the parts back which were removed to work on the body and apparently the woman put in a new roof lining. Anyway, the bottom line is, don't ask me anything mechanical, I just drive them, I certainly don't fix them, but I am led to believe this is a restorers dream. It is no good to me, but does owe me money and to be honest I have enough of that, but don't have a current good telescope if you take out my rare ones that is.
There you go, total honesty and I really have no more to add about the car, I don't even know what year it is, someone once said it was either 64 or 74, not sure but it ended in a '4', I believe.

Need to know the year to determine the value of the vehicle.
What type of front end suspension does it have?? If '64 it will have Torsion Bar, if '74 it will have McPherson Strut.
What type of rear suspension does it have?? Swing-Arm?? Or IRS??
What shape / size rear window does it have?? Rectangle shape?? Or Oval shape??
This also will have a huge impact on vehicle value.
What's the measured distance between the rear cnr of the bonett (either side) & the 'A' pillar. This will also help to determine what model it is.
VW Beetles were the most manufactured car in the world, & as such there are litterally millions of them.
For the vehicle to be valuable it would need to be one of the "rare" models.
