I am a 66 year old retired auto teck/body mechanic and have rebuilt cars in my business all my working days. This VW is 100% ready for black (which required much more body prep. ) or any color. Many new parts including window rubbers. head liner. shift/throttle cables. engine compartment seals/sound proofing etc. Engine is as shown an speaks for itself. 1600 stock (elect ign. ) runs great. New front end parts also. I just found a T-Bucket and can't resist it. This is the ONLY reason for this sale. Body is super straight and will make a beautiful Ghia. Thanks for looking and this car will have to be picked up or shipping arranged by the buyer. Bill
