I ran a '64 Ghia as a daily for about 4 years a long time ago. Great cars, a type 1 lump can be made to go fast for little money these days. Problem with Ghias is rust, even if they don't have rust when you buy it it won't be long before it will. Door window seals are crap even with good quality rubber and fitted correctly, you'll have a pond under you back seat constantly, at least that ices over during winter.
Heres mine back in the late 90s, not a low light but still an early one with smaller lights and 5 stud hubs.
If you go Porsche there is no going back to VW aircooled, unless you can afford both. Early pre-impact bumper 911s are going for big money these days, you'll be lucky to find an decent entry level T spec for less than 20k, E's are double that and S's are triple. Later SCs and 3.2s are still attainable though but even the later ones are succumbing to rust.
To quote Risky Business - "Porsche there is no substitute" Ditch the Golf and try either a KG or 911, you only live once.
I'm car whoring now, but who cares.
I've been lucky and on my second Porsche now:
First was a good compromise for a VW fan as its a rare but unloved 912e, it came with the VW type IV
Then got a proper one, this is a keeper:
