Agreed.
I think that what people are missing is exactly what Will and Sammie
have already said.
A good restoration of a VW is going to cost somewhere around $30,000 or
much, much more.
People spending less than 5K on a "restoration" are going to be
disappointed.
If you do the work yourself, then you only have yourself to blame if it
turns out badly.
I'm just sayin'.
