Hi Emily,
I have successfully rewired a Jeep CJ-5, Jeep Wagoneer, 67 Bug, and
two VW dune buggies. In each case I started from scratch with all new stuff.
I invested about $100-$200 in each car and from 2 days to a whole month in
labor (not counting the brain busting time). Its not that hard if you have a
basic understanding of DC circuits and decide from the start exactly how you
want to do it. Try reading Automotive Electrical Handbook by Jim Horner (HP
Books). It has a lot of good info in it including converting from 6V to 12V.
The illistrations include a lot of VW stuff. If you decide to do it and need
any help/advice let me know, I actually enjoy this elecrical stuff :)
Its a very rewarding project so have fun and good luck!
