I hate to say it.. But sell and get a good un' Unless you.. 1. Have a sentimental value in the bus 2. Have a keen interest in restoration and are willing to do it yourself 3. Have more money that sense It's not really worth starting a resto. It will work out cheaper to just buy a decent one. Mine has cost me £9455 so far.. And if you look at its current state in my restoration thread, you may see what I mean. My timescale and budget was 1 year, £10,000... It's now 3 years and £15,000 (hopefully) P.s. My story is based on option 2.
Try DTH in Tillicoultry. The are recommended by the West of Scotland VW club. Whereabouts are you exactly?
