Welcome Blu72, A 72 Super 1302 is a great car to build a German Look car. My 72 1302 was in far worse shape than that when I started and it came out great. There are alot of great folks here to help you. The VKG (Southeastern German Look Club) meet here also. Check out our club forum. We have e few members in the Metro Atlanta area.
Jump on in and ask away.

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.
