To restore or not to restore, that is NOT the question but rather when to restore and in what order?!?!?!?!? I'm having a delema. I just bought my newest edition to my VW collection this time a '69 fastback. This one is definately my favorite(you seem to say that each time, huh). Being a daily driver, resto is a slow process doing one item at a time. I'm reaching the point where I'm not sure what to do next. Obviously everything needs to be resto'd but how involved can you get when its your means of transportation? For instance...you've got a good ding in the body you need to fix, do you leave it, fix just it, or fix the entire body? Another example...your door panels are falling apart, do you get new ones, buy used ones at the junk yard, or just put up with them? One more...you need some new window rubber, do you just replace them, replace them all, or paint the entire car because the window channels need a little cleaning and repainting anyway??? I'm sure you get the point. You can see how one thing always leads to another. In the past I was resto'ing from top to bottom so I just jumped in. Now its a working project. I just need a little insight from others in my situation on how you're handleing it. charles '69 fastback
