The one great thing about the air cooled cars is that you literally can do just about everything yourself with enough time, tools and Pelican forum searches.

But I say to hell with it and get the SC, you won’t regret it and even if you do, you’ll have no trouble selling it.
I agree 100% with Showdown. By the time I'm done sorting my '82, I will be right in that price range as well. Got it for ~$30 with 72k mi, will easily have ~$20 more into it when it's all refreshed and sorted.
