starting out on the germanlook

[firebrat]

Quick backstory- I purchased my 71 super way back before i had my license. i thought it would be the perfect car to have. over the years i have had tons of fun with it but right now it is sitting engineless (just sold), and i am a poor college student now with no money for restoration.

Now I must admit I love cal-look bugs and that kinda brings me to my dilemma. I have been trying to unload the car, with the thought that next year I could purchase a mid-sixties bug and make a cal-looker. But since my bug isn't selling and the GermanLook has been catching my eye I thought about slowly restoring my car to a german look.

what would your opinions be? try to sell my beetle and start fresh later on or keep it and make it a slow project?
