Thank-you. that's actually pretty logical advice. I dont plan on selling this car (but then again, you never know what comes up). I plan on having this car until it doesnt want to work anymore. I absolutely adore it. It's also my first car, and funny enough the exact car I wanted (ive always LOVED old VWs). My concern isnt so much making the car worth more, it's keeping it alive. I suppose i'll drive it til the engine fails, because that would prolly not be worth fixing (or would it be?).
