Subject:VLVC: Super Beetle TCO....

All,

I am considering restoration of an early 70's Superbeetle a friend is
wanting to offload...

I have a couple old air cooled engines available to me as well, so I have
lots of engine parts and stuff to go thru.

Been sitting for years...though its a Florida vehicle so I don't think the
pan is going to be too much of a concern...

What are some of the things I need to consider on whether or not to embark
upon this project? Are parts easier to get for these little beasts? I am
considering dumping a newer vehicle I have in its stead (creature comforts,
who needs em)

Is it practical to consider one of these a daily driver?

Any random thoughts of how stupid I am are welcome :-)
