I'm just about the take the leap into building my own Speedster but wanted to do a little research first to make sure I'm going in the right direction.
I am looking to do the kit route and have lots of experience in dealing with old vehicles. My last project was a 1952 Willys jeep which I just sold (the whole story is at www.chriskate.net/jeep/index.html).
My question at this point is, does it matter much what kind of "bug" doner car I start with? There is a 1970 bug listed here in the paper for $950 that doesn't run. I will probably put a different engine in it or completely rebuild the engine anyway so I'm not too concerned that it doesn't run. Is there anything else I should be looking for in a doner vehicle.
Thanks.
Chris
