The one he has (green) is working well. He takes me for a ride in it periodically. He will restore this one (red convertible) as well. It’s what he does. He buys them, restores them, and sells them on. He’s probably done six in the last 20 years, with only the last one being sold “as-is” to someone who was looking for “a project.” That happens often in the VW world.
Now I need to get busy doing something.
