| Today's the day...
The work begins. Got an e-mail showing this a couple hours ago... we'll call it motivation. https://www.hagerty.com/marketplace/...e-1e8f28701195 Mine is not as nice under the hood, older repaint not as shiny, but my interior is a bit nicer, also a bit cleaner under body and frame. Only problem is front brakes are locked up, will not roll. Oh, and it hasn't been started for 30 years! Once it's roadworthy again, I'll want to sell it, wife will want to keep it. I guess we'll cross that bridge later! |

I was wondering why you would want to do all that work then sell it then I clicked the link and saw what there asking for a not so good shape rig in my mind that's a showroom quality price tag and that is not a showroom example of that rig that would temp me to sell too |

I agree, that price is not very realistic for that one, and mine will never be there either. Once it's on the road again it's gonna be a tough decision! |

Small protip for drum brakes. When a vehicle has sat like that and the brakes are stuck. A propane torch and a rawhide (heavy) mallet is your best friend to shock the shoes loose from the drum. Or, attempt to rotate the driveshaft if you can and use the diff reduction to add torque. |

VWs are catching their stride, values are steadily climbing and demand is growing. The early stuff is becoming unobtainable to the regular guy but the late model stuff is still within reach. Ive had many pass through my hands through the years we have always had at least one in the driveway! | |
