I would buy some standard 4 pot springs (looks to be on 6 cyl ones).
Maybe get some 15" BBS?

Lose the shiney bits round the windows, sell the wheels to a vauxhall owner and put the 15" bbs on it.

Hahaha tell me about it, my girlfriend thinks as it is not a new soft top beetle its not good and just because its older than 4 years it must be a bucket. You should've heard her when i first bought it. She actually thinks it's worse then my Rover 214
