congrats on getting sucked into the VW addiction. as No_H2O said, great car to build on. where to start and how much to do greatly depends on your budget, or lack of one. start with getting the body into shape. then brakes, suspension and wheels. then engine and tranny. again, depends on if you need to drive it soon etc.
give us an idea of what you have to spend ($2000, $8000, $20,000) and over what time period and we can probably be more specific.
again as No_H2O said, checkout the
VKG also. we have a few local members that are always willing to give a helping hand.
