The old VW's have a tube where the torsion springs ride, the tow bar has U channels that fit this tube and that is how the car is towed, simple and easy the newer ones need a base plate bolted to the pan.
The VW's have a pan on which the body is bolted to, the majority made into buggies were cut and re welded, when looking for one check that the vehicle sits on all four tires, some were so poorly done that one tire is practically of the ground, the good units were cut in a jig, the other problem was the fuel line it rides in the central tunnel and now and then would get a pin hole and leak, we used to repair it by drilling a hole at the front and rear of the tunnel and run stainless steel brake line through for the fuel line.
If you use the VW engine, turn the coil so that the connections are up instead of down, the coils tend to leak the oil and quit also put a it of solder on the terminals they are riveted and come loose, and always use the 5mm FUEL hose not vacuum line, most fires were caused by fuel leaks on the generators or alternators.
