Ok... Now its time to own up to my own stupid car consideration...
I've got the VW itch again.. This time looking at an aircooled ride though!
'69. Not sure if its the original motor, and yes I've got a wee bit to learn about bugs. Been doing lots of reading..
It started and ran nice, and yes it had to be jumped as the wiring needs some help..
It has had the rest of the glass put in since that picture. Needs some final assembly, and possibly floor pans depending on how picky I want to be. They have been repaired, but not right IMHO. The good news is that the rest of the ride is very rust free. Its a good 10ft car right now. The paint is new but has some dead spots and a run. But its a metallic so hard to correct.
Would be a fun knock around car on the weekends when the weather is good (9mos of the year
)
Still undecided on this one though given that I need about 2k in misc parts by my calculations even with it being almost finished. Talked the guy down 500 off his asking today, but really feel like I need to get him down another 500... Going to let him sit on it a few days...
