    We have a ‘64 Beetle that I bought for my wife as an engagement present and a restoration project about the same time that this Beetle went under that carport! Fortunately, our car had a completely body sandblasting back in 1998 and was put under primer and stored inside since that time! The motor was rebuilt right before Covid and the body is (finally) just about ready to paint! My original goal was to finish the car in a year; now, I just hope to get it finished before I am too old to enjoy it! You only really lose if you quit and give up!

      Cool, I just hope you have the time to get into this one being you have all the other project still waiting to be restored? Or are you just doing partial flips on them? Understand if you can make a profit to keep getting more projects if that's the case? I'm starting to see off some stuff right now so I have room. What I would like to do is get the 40hp rebuilt and sell it and hopefully buy a vintage Corvair motor and all and if really lucky a Monza 140hp 4 speed two door which are hard to find around here.
