No need for roll up windows, I have a plan for that, and the reasoning for the tube frame was to have better suspension, but it looks like there are a few options out there for modifying VW suspension. The Subaru motor is something that I really do want, but I'm mechanically and Electrically Savvy, I'm an Electrical/Network Engineer and I grew up in the auto business, as my father had his own shop as a mechanic, and my  older brother had a body shop where I learned to do body work and paint,  I really would build my own if I had the time and the space, but I do not.  The short of it is if I end up with a Speedster that needs some love to make it into the car I desire, well that's the fun of it right?   This was really just a ploy to introduce myself and see what  if there was any interest.  People grow out of hobbies and with all the Speedsters out there that people wait months and often years for and pay a premium, then put 1200 miles on the car in 2 or 5 years time.  No offense to those people, I can understand it being treated as a perfect weather Sunday car, but a lot of these people realize that they can repurpose the investment into something that may be more practical for them personally. These are the people I was targeting.  Or the people that the car made sense for at one point in their life, but priorities have changed, family life or buying a new home.  Whatever it may be, this is one of the similarities I see between these cars and Vintage Vespa's. There may be someone out there that their life has changed and a truck makes more sense at this point and time of their life. I tend to be long winded so I'll end here.
