It's probably not practical to consider making a dune buggy out of your type 3, 
mainly for the 2 reasons you already gave. Virtually all dunebuggys are made 
from type 1 pans, and your pan is rusted out so it won't make a suitable 
foundation anyway.

It's sad, but if your '73 is really shot, then parting it out is probably the 
best bet.

I'm always looking for '73 interior parts in dark blue, mainly carpet and vinyl 
panels. Yours didn't have a dark blue interior did it?
