Then I swapped it to you for the 914 that you had and sold $3k worth of parts off the 914.
This is resale value. I never lose money on a car. You just have to buy at the right price.
Since then, I've dumped over $6,000.00 into the bug, and it's not even painted or interiored (word?), just engine, trans, axles, 4-wheel disc conversion. 2.0 Fuchs, MOMO steering wheel...the works...

It's for sale right now for $4,000.00, and I could care less if I lose money on it. I had a tremendous amount of fun in it this past year, and it's so much better of a car now than it was, I feel a sense of pride in building such a beastly little sleeper. BTW - I'll run anything in your driveway, anywhere in my bug...and win convincingly...
