Just a Idea.......
Look for a spare body and pan, that is a bit better then the one you got.
Run your car with a few pop-rivits and "For Sale " signs, then you fix the spare body right up to paint, then on one week, build every thing from this one into the fixed up body and pan....pressto!... one new beetle......
