Had to smile a bit, thanx guys.....
Firstly I'm not cross with my money so I don't go pissing about with it. A fair budget is just that, fair. And yes its a project, so time is on my side. And I ain't doing it because I think a Bug is cheap either
So budget wise looking at about R80k. Don't want an original or NOS type of car, I'm gonna chop it

put modern wheels on it and a modern interior. Kinda like if VW have designed it if they designed it today. And no not like the New Beetle at all :/ I don't want to change the essence of the car, just modernize it a bit, well that is my idea anyhow.
Anybody here building virtual rides or know of anybody that have done so locally? I am learning the skill in Photoshop currently but I kinda suck at it....
From what I can see the 67 was the last Bug with the longer more pointy boot and bonnet and the old style headlights, not the upright ones like my current cars? Anybody know of an abandoned project with a shell like that perhaps? Obviousely the more complete, even if in parts, the better.
Bugger, man I will surely be in contact in the near future

but a turbo 2.4, nope I'm way to conservative a bugger for that

I need to do me planning first, find a car and get the parts. Looking for 100-130Hp range or there abouts. Maybe 1800 or so, should be good for that type of power. Its only a street car, no racing, maybe a few burnouts
