Hi
Hate to say it but vw beetle is a good car to start doing, you can still get one with a Mot for £1500 and less.
Parts are dirt cheap so many shows and autojumbles to pick stuff up, I just hate beetle.
I also hate vw T2 camper but I have one, I have stuck a 1.9TD engine in.
In the last 20 years I had escorts mk1, 2 rs, capri mk1, sunbeam alpine mk1,5
Jag E type ,xk140, Singer gazelle Mk3,5, Vw T2 early and late, and more.
Some of the above cars parts could not be got cheap Xk140 wings £1400 each about the price of a beetle.
You are doing your homework, thats good but it does need to be something you love many hours of work.
Do not count the time or money up you spend on your car as 9 out of 10 time it would have been cheaper to buy one in good conditon at the start.
Thanks Vpug
