Am assuming this is about the old, air-cooled one. Basically the body shell is bolted to the floor pan, so if you remove the carpeting and rear seat you should be able to see some bolt heads. If you undo these it the body should begin to separate. The body isn't that heavy, four guys can lift it off no trouble - but make sure it's loose before you start straining. Removing the fenders first is a good idea.
