anyone got a fully restored mk2?

omg think how smart a red and black leather concept interior would look in mine  think thats the way to go.
Well so far ive spent £800 buying it
£170 on panels
£130 on MOT & service parts
£800 on the welding and bodywork = £1900 (which is what i sold my old beetle for)
then I will have cosmetics to buy such as the grill and headlamps i want to change.

last night i had an amazing offer from a friend, he said he will paint the car for me  he said would be max a grand and less if i can prep it as much as i can.  yippee!

not doing too bad i think!

Starting from a original one owner car, I've spent around £6k on mine (including the purchase price.) The next job is an engine bay restoration which I am budgeting between £3-4k for, so all in, done, finished, looking factory fresh it will owe me £10k.

What it's worth when it's done, who knows. Personally I don't care as I'll never sell it. It's taken me 5 years to get to where I am now with it, so it's not as if the money's all gone in one hit. I could have easily spent that money in the pub.
