Hi Gang
Well, the time has come in my life, that I must make some hard decisions. This is one of them. You all have seen me work on my 69 and I have had a great time doing so. I have really enjoyed the experience of working on an A/S and I hope to own one again someday. I have decided to continue my education in college to a master's level and I will not have any time to work on my VW. So, I am putting it up for sale.
Currently, the engine is out of the car and 80% rebuilt with most of the parts to finish the job. The body is off of the chassis and ready to replace floor pans and any work on the A/S tranny. I have never run the car since I have owned it. I am confident that the tranny is in good to great shape. The diaphragms in the exterior parts for the A/S hold a vacuum and I would assume are in great working order. I have put new tires on it, installed 25% of a new wiring harness (for manual not A/S), primer coated the interior, refurbished the gas tank, and installed new battery. The biggest challenge that I had with the car was the rust issue. I have one pan for the driver's side but, the new owner would have to replace the passenger side. I also purchased and fabbed a replacement for the rear luggage compartment metal. The remaining rust seems to be in the heater channels. The body is in great shape with little rust and a nice chocolate brown color (sarcasm on the color!). I have removed most of the dirt and grime from the chassis and I have kept all of the bolts and parts that I have removed. I also gave the pedal assembly a good looking over, replacing springs and rings. The master cylinder is shot and the brake lines are questionable. I have also removed all lights from the body. The headlights are no good so they would need to be replaced. Besides showing a picture or being asked a specific question, these are all the modifications that I can think of.
It really pains me to give it up, I have spent hours of time working on it, but I know that my schooling must be first. I have put over $2000 into parts and cost, I am asking for $1500 for the entire car. I would like to sell it whole, but as time passes I may be willing to part it out. I do have a new title on it that is registered to me. I hope that one of you would be willing to purchase it or know of someone who does. I live in Starkville, Mississippi, zip 39759 and it would have to be picked up. I cannot deliver. If you have any questions, just ask. I will try to have pictures up soon. Thanks for considering and I plan to continue to be a member of VWAR even though my VW will be gone. Thanks to all.

Chirs, still got your car? If you decide to part it out, let me know.
Thanks
