As I mentioned in an earlier post, I just purchased my first VW, a 68
Squareback, and was lucky enough to find this mail list. Not being a long
time subscriber, I'm not sure what the response to this question will be,
although my guess is it might spark quite a bit of debate :)
After looking around at the VW info available on the web and in
magazines, I'm definitely glad I went with a Type 3. They appear to be much
more rare!! And I personally like the look better than any other.
My question is perhaps a matter of taste. First, what is the definition
of "original" when it comes to restoring older cars? Second, after talking
to my father in law, who restores old fords into custom hotrods, I'm
debating whether I would be better off customizing my 68 or attempting to
keep to it original. I'm wondering which might hit harder in the pocket
book and in the end be a better return on the investment. Also, I'm
assuming a custom job would make it easier to find parts, etc...but I might
be wrong.
Any opinions or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
